Packaging for protecting a brush comprises a box and a brush. The brush has bristles forming a particular shape, and the box defines a nose with a corresponding shape for accommodating the bristles without bending or impacting the bristles, whereby the brush holds its form while packaged. The brush preferably is an angular brush. The box includes a lid by which the brush is secured, with a handle of the brush extending through an opening in the lid.

A tool is disclosed having an integral safety hanger. The tool has a handle including a gripping portion and a neck portion, and a channel within the handle which passes completely through the handle. A hanger assembly is provided which is mounted at a first end thereof within the channel and which includes one or more arm elements adapted to move between a position completely within the channel to positions on either a first side of the handle outside of the channel and/or a second side of the handle outside of the channel, the one or more arm elements are adapted to securely hold the tool on a lip of a container when the one or more arm elements are moved to the first position and/or to the second position.

A tool holder includes a body having a posterior arm with a first longitudinal axis extending from a posterior arm proximal portion to a posterior arm distal end. The body includes an anterior arm having a second longitudinal axis extending from an anterior arm proximal portion to an anterior arm distal end. The anterior arm proximal portion includes an anterior arm offset portion having a third longitudinal axis that intersects the first longitudinal axis at or below a midpoint of the posterior arm. The body also includes a u-shaped portion joining the posterior arm distal end and the anterior arm distal end. At least one magnet is positioned on the anterior arm to connect to a paintbrush or other tool.

A liner having two cavities to hold paint is configured for positioning within an interior cavity of a container to an engaged position therein. While in the engaged position, the liner opening is held centered or coaxial to the opening of the container whereby the user can rotate the liner to reposition the two cavities for easier access thereto.

The paint tray device may include an open circle structure and a tray structure. The open circle structure may fully encircle the rim of an upper circumference of an open paint container. The open circle structure may have a top side and a bottom side. The top side may fully cover the rim of the open paint container. The bottom side may have a void configured to engage the rim of the open paint container via an annular snap-fit. The tray structure may extend from an edge of the open circle structure. The tray structure may extend at an incline and may have an upper surface with ridges such that excess paint removed from a paint roller in the tray may flow into the open paint container at the edge from which the tray structure extends.

A paintbrush and paint roller support rack and methods of using same. The paintbrush and paint roller support rack may include an upper support rack, a lower support rack, and vertical members extending between the lower support rack and the upper support rack, the vertical members supporting the upper support rack a distance above the lower support rack. The upper support rack may include inward extending upper horizontal support members spaced thereabout and the lower support rack may include inward extending lower horizontal members spaced thereabout, and the inward extending lower horizontal members may include one or more support pegs extending vertically upwards from the one or more of the lower horizontal members.

An apparatus includes a bottom wall, a plurality of connected walls attached to the bottom wall to define a cavity having a top rim, and a flange extending laterally outward from the top rim. At least a portion of the flange extends downwardly from the top rim. The portion of the flange includes an aperture configured to accept a user's thumb, and the portion of the flange is substantially symmetrical about a center line of the apparatus.

A paint bucket insert. The paint bucket insert includes a base dimensioned to removably secure within a bucket, wherein an annular sidewall extends orthogonally away from the base along a perimeter thereof. The base is further concave defining an apex. A well is disposed within the base at the apex, wherein the well extends from a lower side of the base. The well can receive a paint sprayer hose or alternatively a paint roller therein.
