A paint tool includes a base with at least two sides and a handle secured thereto. An edging device is pivotally and removably mounted on the tool and includes a plate with a slot. At least one position is defined in the slot by an enlargement of the width of the slot. First and second wheels are rotatably mounted in tandem on the plate and the plate may be secured to either side of the base and will pivot upon securement to allow an edge to be painted on a surface.

Edging device for a paint tool

An extension handle for a tool such as a paint roller, paint pad or the like includes a first tubular member including an attachment device for attaching a paint roller or the like thereto. The extension handle further includes a second tubular member telescopically mounted within the first tubular member. The second tubular member includes a detent mechanism that engages one of several detent capturing devices on the first tubular member thereby defining a plurality of stops allowing adjustment of the relative position of the first and second tubular members to provide the extension feature of the handle. The handle further includes an alignment structure including a groove in one of the first and second tubular members and a tongue in the other of the first and second members that engage each other to align the first and second tubular members and the detent and detent capturing mechanism relative to each other.

Extension handle

A handle for a paint brush or similar tool which facilitates the removal of the paint brush from a display device where the brushes are stacked on a cantilever-type display arm. The paint brush handle includes a generally vertical slot adapted to slidably engage a flat, generally vertically oriented cantilever arm to maintain the brushes in general relative alignment along the arm. The slot in each paint brush handle includes a pair of upwardly converging canted surfaces on the bottom end of the slot to facilitate removal of the brushes from the cantilever arm, for example by a customer desiring to purchase a brush. The paint brush handle may include a hollow interior, or the handle may be solid throughout in which case the canted surfaces terminate in a generally central crown. A generally circular aperture is provided at the upper end of the slot to define a 'keyhole' slot so that the brushes also may be displayed on a hanger having a circular cross-section.
