A clip capable of magnetic attachment to a paintbrush or to a steel paint roller mesh tray. It has a hook arm extending from the body of the clip that enables a hanging attachment to a plethora of different sized paint cans and at different vertical angles. The clip may be used with continued attachment to the paintbrush where the paintbrush is hung on the paint can when necessary by the hook arm. It may also be used with continued attachment to a steel paint roller mesh tray and the paintbrush is magnetically affixed on the tray when necessary. A ferromagnetic backing cup may be used to direct the bulk of the magnetic flux to either side of the clip body.

A painting tool holder is provided. The painting tool holder includes a body defining an upper platform and a lower platform, wherein the upper platform and the lower platform are connected via a front support. A rear support extends from the upper platform. The front support and the rear support define a channel therebetween for receiving a rim of a paint can therein. A pair of support rings are disposed on opposing lateral sides of the lower platform. A fastener is disposed on a first side of the upper platform. An upper support ring is disposed on a second side of the upper platform.

A paint brush holder has a hinged tray with a plurality of apertures disposed within a base capable of being vertically supported within an interior of a can of paint. The tray is both braced and secured into position by a pair of support arms.

The paint can caddy is a holder and carrier for paint cans, as well as associated painting items, such as paint brushes and cleaning rags. The paint can caddy includes a receptacle having a cylindrical sidewall, an open upper end and a closed lower end. A brush holder is mounted on the cylindrical sidewall, adjacent the open upper end of the receptacle. The brush holder extends radially outwardly from the cylindrical sidewall and is angled with respect to the plane of the open upper end of the receptacle. At least one magnet is secured to the brush holder, allowing a paint brush with a magnetic or paramagnetic material embedded in its handle to be releasably secured to the brush holder. A handle is secured to an exterior surface of the cylindrical sidewall, allowing the receptacle to be easily carried and moved.

A paint palette system for holding and dispersing paint wherein a painter can pour paint into a low profile receptacle for later removal with a paintbrush or like tool is provided. A disposable and removable paint retaining fabric retains the paint in a drip-less and mess free fashion. The paint can be transported and stored in an improved manner allowing for a faster and more efficient painting effort.

An integrally formed bucket and external organizer is provided. A bucket is provided having a tubular sidewall with an open upper end and a closed bottom end. An integrally formed brim connects to an outside surface of the tubular sidewall proximate to the open upper end. The brim extends radially outward from the tubular sidewall to an external or exterior edge. The brim includes a plurality of apertures that extend though its surface (e.g., between an interior edge attached to the tubular sidewall and the exterior edge). Such apertures may support various items (e.g., tools, fishing gear, etc.).

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.

Paint brush holsters and liners are described.

A paint tray includes a paint tray having a paint receptacle and a roller area, with two paint troughs positioned adjacent the sides of the roller area. The troughs are slanted such that the troughs are in fluid communication with the paint receptacle. A tool receptacle is positioned in the at least one of the troughs for holding a paint tool away from, but adjacent to, the paint receptacle and the roller area.

A paint brush suspension lid for a paint can which incorporates a resilient brush holder insert designed to hold a paint brush handle at a desired static vertical position, enabling the bristles to be immersed in the paint without touching the bottom or sides of the paint can, thereby protected from the ambient air when not in use, without damaging the paint brush by immersing the brush ferrule. The lid is a bright coloured, high visibility material evocative of a caution cone, and is shaped to permit unobstructed use of a paint can handle while the lid is in place atop the can.
