I did not know whether to post in the Disability, or the Seniors, or the Boomers, or ..whatever group, so am asking here.

We need to buy one of those "graspers" ( I don't even know what to call them) that allow you to extend your reach into cupboards, shelves, floor, etc and grab light items like a can of beans, or spice bottle, or water glass, or pick up an errant shoe.
Actually, the floor is pretty much covered because I have trained our Goldie to pick up anything we point to, but the darn dog is not tall enough to reach into the cabinets.
We need a quality one.

Any suggestions/experience with those would be very helpful.
Heck, even the name of the tool would be helpful.

UPDATED: Thanks for helping with the suggestions and esp.what to call it.
I think I am going to go with this one on Amazon. It has rubber tipped edges.
