Jay,
I dont know what they are called but I would get one of those flexible grabbers that you grip at one end and has a pincher like a claw at the other end. You push a button down and the claw pinches closed. They are typically about two or three feet long. This tool is great for picking things out of the bilge under the engine or other places where things like nuts and bolts and other tools have gone that you cant quite reach with your hand.

A little makeup mirror is also helpful for seeing around things....and touching up your lipstick...LOL

A light that mounts on your forehead is also helpful so you don't have to hold a flashlight while turning a wrench or doing whatever else.
