In one aspect, a vessel system includes a vessel and a strap. The vessel has an outside surface and includes a bottom wall; a sidewall extending from the bottom wall; and an inner wall connected to the sidewall inward of the outside surface, wherein a recess is defined between the sidewall and inner wall. The strap has opposed first and second ends, wherein the first end is received in the recess, and wherein the second end is configured for selective attachment to the outside surface.

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.

The ‘Paint Pot Pro’ is a paint-pot/kettle (FIGS.-1,6-9,15), and a manually detachable/attachable multi-use tool-handle (FIGS.-5,12-15). The paint-pot/kettle component of the ‘Paint Pot Pro’ holds substances, such as paint, for the use of brush and/or mini-roller, and comprises of recommended 1,000 ml volume-capacity. The paint-pot/kettle component of the ‘Paint Pot Pro’ includes: angled/magnetised brush-rest (Lables-1,2; FIG.- 15); wiping-blade (Lable-3); mini-roller-glide (Lable-5); mini-roller-holder (Lable-6); belt-clip/loops (Lables-7,8; FIG.-15); removable/replaceable plastic pot-liners to line the internal of the paint-pot/kettle (Lable-9); ergonomically-designed plastic handle (referred to as the multi-use tool-handle) (Label-4; FIGS.-13-15); and male component of the manual-locking system (Lable-10) to attach/detach the multi-use tool-handle (FIGS.-5,12-14) from the paint-pot/kettle (FIGS.-1,6-9,15). The multi-use tool-handle has multi-use functions including: mallet to close paint tins (Lable-14), paint tin openers (Lables-11,12), mini-roller cleaning-aid (Lable-13), shark-tooth brush cleaning-aid (Lable-17), scraping blade (Lable-15), beer bottle opener (Lable-18), female component of the female-to-male locking-system (Lable-16) designed to attach the multi-use tool-handle (FIGS.-5,12-15) to pot/kettle (FIGS.-1,6-9,15).

The can holder comprises a can support for attaching to a vertical or horizontal support without tools. The can support comprises a top plate having a can surrounding hole, a can floor portion spaced from the top plate by a vertical spacer, a vertical attach portion and a horizontal attach portion. The horizontal attach portion may comprise a back leg forming a U-shaped channel generally parallel to a top plate back edge and between the back leg and the vertical spacer for attachment to a horizontal structure such as a joist or ladder rung. The vertical attach portion may comprise a U-shaped channel cut out of the top plate and a projecting tab on the can floor portion for attachment to a vertical structure such as a building stud or ladder rung. Slots and holes in top plate are adapted to hold tools.

A paint tray assembly for use with a paint roller includes a pan. The pan has a top that is open so that the pan is configured to position paint. A first plate is coupled to and extends transversely from an upper perimeter of the pan. An edge of the first plate is distal to the pan and elevated relative to the upper perimeter. The first plate is configured to direct excess paint from a roller to the pan. A rod is coupled to and extends transversely from a lower surface of the first plate proximate to the pan. A lower terminus of the rod is substantially coplanar with a bottom of the pan. The rod is positioned to stabilize the pan on a substantially horizontal surface. The rod also is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user to lift the pan.
