Provided is a container including a container body, a bail removably attached to the container body, a lid removably attached to a top of the container body, and a flexible band attached to the container body. The flexible band is movable between a first position spaced a first distance from the rear, a second position spaced a second distance from the rear less than the first distance to allow the container body and the bail to be grasped at the rear without interference by the flexible band, and a third position spaced a third distance from the rear greater than the first distance to provide space for a user's hand between the rear of the container body and the flexible band.

Coating material container

One or more technique and/or systems for a coating roller assembly, including a coating applicator cage frame and a frame wire. The roller assembly can comprise a handle coupled with the frame wire configured to operably hold the coating applicator cage frame. Bearings can be fixed to the coating applicator cage frame at its both ends. Instead of using typical pinning or swedging techniques for holding the bearing, a sleeve can be crimped into place over a treated surface of the frame wire between the second end and third bend (). In this way, for example, the structural integrity of the frame wire can be substantially maintained, providing for improved durability and a longer life for the roller assembly.

Coatings roller assembly with improved frame

In an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein a modular toolbox that is designed and organized for the storage and transport of painting tools. The modular toolbox has modules that are separably stacked and is designed to include storage for painting tools such as, for example, brushes, roller frames, roller covers, putty knives, lights, and an extension pole with compartments allowing for the storage and transport of personal items. In particular embodiments, the modular toolbox includes specific storage capabilities for wet tools so that they can be stored and transported to a different location for cleaning.

Modular toolbox designed and organized for painting tools

Multi-tool with bit slot

Provided is a tool that includes a handle assembly including a top portion and a bottom portion. The tool also includes a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge. The tool additionally includes a blade having first and second ends, an indent in a bottom surface of the blade near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade.

Folding tool

Pad painter

Provided is a container having a container body, a bail attached to the container body, and a flexible band attached to a rear of the container body. The flexible band has a first end attached to the rear of the container proximate a top of the rear and a second end attached to the rear of the container body proximate a bottom of the rear. The flexible band is movable between a first position spaced a first distance from the rear, a second position spaced a second distance from the rear less than the first distance to allow the container body and the bail to be grasped at the rear without interference by the flexible band, and a third position spaced a third distance from the rear greater than the first distance to provide space for a user's hand between the rear of the container body and the flexible band.

Pad painter handle

Provided is an application apparatus for a coatings material. The application apparatus includes a supporting element extending along a first axis and having a first end and a second end. A first arm is coupled to the first end of the supporting element, and a second arm coupled to the second end of the supporting element. A first fastener attached to, and movable with respect to, the first end of the supporting element and detachably fixed to the first arm. Further, the first arm is configured to slide along the first axis.

Application apparatus for a coatings material

Prep tool

A tool is provided that includes unitary plate that includes a blade portion and a tang portion. The blade portion can include an edge. The tang portion can include a positioning hole, a first hole, a slot, a second hole, a rivet hole, and one or more teeth (also referred to as one or more barbs) on a side of the tang portion. The tool can further include a hilt member which includes a through passage, a tab, and a notch. The tool includes an overlay on a body to create a handle for gripping the tool. The tool further includes a hammerhead cap on an end of the body, the hammerhead cap is coupled to the handle with a rivet through the rivet hole.
