The invention provides an improved tool box useful for painters featuring a first receiving space or compartment, a second receiving space or compartment, a handle or means for carrying or transporting the tool box, and a means for receiving or holding in a substantially vertical position a paint brush or paint roller or tool useful for a painter. The tool box may be formed of any suitable material or combination or materials such as wood, fiber board, pressboard, rubber, plastic, metal or cardboard. The tool box may be designed for extended life or it may be formed of one or more materials adapted to be disposed of after one or a few or several uses. The tool box may be of any suitable shape such as substantially rectangular, square, oblong, elliptical, round, etc.

The present disclosure is a device for carrying tools and sundries that has a bucket with an outside surface and an inside surface. Further, the device has at least one metal band coupled around the outside surface of the bucket and at least one magnet coupled to the metal band and configured for securing tools.

A support clip includes a container engagement section for mounting the support clip to an upper interior portion of a paint container, and a brush holder support section. A brush holder carries a vertically suspended paint brush. Edge surfaces of the container engagement section include a first segment, a second segment, and an intermediate segment, which engage inner and lower surfaces of the container rim and an inner sidewall surface. A brush keeper kit for a paint brush employs used paint containers as brush keeper parts. The brush keeper kit includes a paint container adapter and a brush holder. The paint container adapter has an outer rim and an inner ledge, which define upper and lower sections for coupling upper and lower paint containers. The brush holder is mounted to an upper interior portion of the lower paint container and supports the paint brush within an interior space.

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 wrapper for a paint brush is provided which is intended for use after the brush has been used. In most instances the brush has been cleaned with water or other solvents and then placed in the paint brush wrapper so that the bristles portion of the paint brush are covered. A fastener such as a cord is used to hold the wrapper in place. The wrapper is made of an air permeable material to allow for the brush to dry and then be reused. The wrapper extends the useful life of the paint brush.

A storage device for a storage container includes a body having one or more retention means. Each retention means may accept and support one of a plurality of differently sized containers. Each retention means includes a first recess configured to engage a substantially cylindrical container and engage a substantially cuboid container.

An artists' brush storage and protection device includes a storage unit having a plurality of storage compartments, each of the storage compartments including a cover with a paint well below the cover, the paint well defined in part by upstanding walls, an exterior one of the upstanding walls defining a recess with a resilient sealing member disposed therein. Each of the covers may be opened permitting access to the paint well or closed against the upstanding walls of the paint well and the sealing member. The storage unit may further include drawer slides and a palette slidable on the drawer slides relative to the storage unit to reveal or conceal the palette. When bristles of a paint brush are placed in the paint well, its handle rests upon the resilient sealing member which compresses around the handle when the cover is closed to provide a substantially air-tight seal.

The home repair system includes a storage container having internal compartmental divisions, the storage container includes a hinged top cover, a bottom, four walls, internal organizers, a handle, a hinge, a lock. The storage container provides organized secured storage of a minor home repair kit including hand tools and repair materials for in-the-field or out-of-the-workshop use.

A storage compartment formed from two halves designed to fit a paint lid, the two halves being connected by a living hinge or other suitable connection type. The two halves can be sealed over the paint lid. An optional magnet holds the storage compartment and lid to the bottom of the paint can, ensuring the lid remains in proximity to the paint can. A second magnet may also hold the lid in place within the storage compartment. Molded clasps or other closure elements are used to close the lid over the storage compartment. A rotatable arm can be tilted up from the storage compartment to allow for carrying of the open paint can along with the lid keeper storage compartment.
