Paint Pal Clips Onto Edge Of Cans

Paint Pal Clips Onto Edge Of Cans FARM HOME Miscellaneous 25-2-32 If you do a lot of painting, you'll appreciate Delmar Potter's simple invention. "If you hang a bucket by the handle, it's always in the way when you dip your brush. So you get paint on the handle and then on your hands when you move the can," says Potter. So Potter, who farms near Griswold, Iowa, simply bent a hook on the end of a piece of strap iron and bolted it to a paint can. The hook allowed him to hang the bucket from a rung on his ladder. The strap makes a good handle for carrying or moving the bucket, so he didn't need the original wire one at all. "It worked so well, I designed a hook for sale that clips onto the paint can with a bolt and a wing nut," he says. He calls it a "Paint Pal." "It'll fit any size paint can," he adds. "It makes it a lot easier to paint trim or do touch up work with small paint cans, even quart or pint-sized ones." Potter sells Paint Pals for $4.95 plus S&H.
