At first glance it looks like something we can't talk about in polite company. :)

[lawman]

Is it used to grab an object?

[lawman]

Hey, where's our Gizmo Quiz moderator? Better hurry back before I have to take the family to our local theme park.

it does not have a light but light is somewhat relevant.
your prize for being somewhat right about light [youtube.com]

[lawman]

So, not a snake light. Is it used to install/uninstall light bulbs?

[phranque]

i'm sure you could find alternate usage [youtube.com] for it but you should probably start with a clean one in that case.

[phranque]

Is it used to grab an object?

you are so hot [youtube.com]!

[phranque]

Is it used to install/uninstall light bulbs?

that is not the intended usage.

Mack.

[lawman]

Here's [wildadventures.net] my local theme park.

[phranque]

for looking round something?

i "can't see" using it to look around but if you like you can see "look around" [youtube.com] here...

[lawman]

Sorry guys. Time for me to leave. Have fun.

[phranque]

[King_Fisher]

A flexiable drive shaft?!...KF

[mack]

used as a tool, or a more scientific use?

Mack.

[phranque]

flexiable drive shaft

in a manner of speaking, yes - but it's not a piece of equipment in a mechanism [youtube.com] as such.

[phranque]

used as a tool, or a more scientific use?

i would call it a decidedly unscientific tool.
here's some "tool time" [youtube.com] for you.

[phranque]

everybody gave up [youtube.com]?
fell asleep [youtube.com]?
went to the petting zoo [youtube.com]?

[phranque]

lisa [youtube.com], where are you?

[BillyS]

It's a flexible showerhead

[phranque]

we already have the flexible part down but unfortunately no water [youtube.com]...
