Word of advice to those considering purchasing some Bercom products for your painting needs:  Once you have this arsenal of products, you will not be able to stop painting and your friends and family will ask you to help them with their projects...and you won't mind one bit.  So if you hate painting as most of us do... well you'll hate painting a lot less but you may be doing more if it than you had hoped!

HOW IN THE WORLD HAS NOBODY CREATED THIS PRODUCT BEFORE?!?!

Do not paint a house without this thing!!!!!

The HANDy Paint Tray holds more paint than most pans on the market and the liners make clean-up quick and easy.  There isn't a problem with rusty, unstable paint trays anymore!

James - Warrenton, MO

These are the perfect containers to use for painting. Very comfortable in your hand and there is a magnet strip that your paint brush will stick to and stay out of the paint. Use these with the Paint Pail liners for EASY clean up. Would not paint without these!!

T. Owens - North Dakota

The HANDy Paint Tray is fantastic.  Not only is it reasonably priced, but very convenient.  It has two sturdy handes...and you don't have to worry about it tipping over.

Denise - Grandville, MI

I purchased two HANDy Ladder Pails and am extremely satisfied with the product.  When you go up on the ladder you have your roller, brush, and a large amount of paint.  It attaches easily to the ladder - extension or step ladder.  The liners make clean-up a breeze.  Great product.

Jim - Camarillo, CA

A real home-run.

Ted - Mechanicsburg, PA

This is an indispensable item for any paint job. We've used one for over four years, can't imagine painting without it.

L. Portz - Wesley Chapel, FL

I use the HANDy Paint Pail for projects big and small and let me tell you, it's the best invention since Clap-On Clap-Off lamps!

Jennifer - Reno, NV

I use my HANDy Paint Pail to give my cat Mittens a bath.  Mittens loves the HANDy Paint Pail, especially the magnet.  Whenever we give Mittens a bath we leave her collar on so the magnet holds her head still...Silly Mittens!

Andy - St. Peter, MN

What a terrific product.  I recently had to paint my interior at home and used the HANDy Paint Tray every day for the past week and a half...Your pail was such an ease to use compared to a conventional tray...I recommend to anyone who does a lot of painting - especially professional painters would find this a real ease to use daily!!

I once saw a man fit a HANDy Paint Pail over his entire head.

Chris - Woodbury, NJ

When you are finished painting, you can throw away the liner and use the pail to drink a cool refreshing beverage.

Daryl - Garden City, KS

The HANDy Paint Tray and Liners are a blessing for painting.  The handles make it easy to carry without tipping...the tray does not rust after cleaning.  The best part is the magnet - no more brushes sliding into the paint or dripping...I just love the tray!

I attach the HANDy Paint Pail to my belt and put BBQ sauce in it when I'm cooking ribs on the grill!

I walked into a store and saw an employee eating chili out of their HANDy Paint Pail!

I especially liked the magnet to hold my brush.
Larue – Muncie, IN

I think this is an excellent product. Very useful and easy to use. I would recommend it to others.
Mitchell - Beaverton, OR

The paint holder worked very well. It held enough paint to do a good job without having to fill it often. The strap for your hand was very comfortable and I was able to climb a ladder while holding it.
Paulette – Laurel, IN

The HANDy Paint Pail is a lot better than having to constantly worry about knocking a paint tray off of a ladder. The brush scraper is very handy and keeps the paint from running over the outside. This product is very good for someone who has arthritis.
Cheryl – East Bend, NC

This paint holder is an excellent idea; it is just the right size to hold.
Kathleen – Sussex, NJ

Why didn’t someone come up with this a long time ago? The brush magnet is wonderful. It is comfortable hanging on to it for over an hour doing my project. I will definitely get a lot of use out of this.
Ruth – Whittemore, IA

I got sick at work today and my HANDy Paint Pail was there to save me.

Carl - Winona, MN

I am a window washer and have been using the HANDy Ladder Pail for a year now.  It is the perfect size, easily hooks on any of my ladders, is conveniently placed yet away from the steps so it is safe.  I never had a bucket work so well.

Bud - Hillsborough, NC

Light and easy to hold – no tired arms.
Carolyn – Lavonia, GA

I recommend this product to anyone who has back problems and wants to do painting in a room without wearing herself out.
Susan – Chula Vista, CA

I fill my HANDy Paint Pail with flowers and use it as a center piece on my dining room table!

Linda - Missoula, MT

The belt attachment and magnet make it easy to go up and down ladders frequently.
Kevin – Ballwin, MO

Excellent for trim work when attached to a belt both on and off a ladder. Much easier than holding a conventional bucket. The magnetic brush holder is both powerful and convenient. I have 96 apartments that are on a continuous paint cycle; I wouldn’t give up this paint pail for anything.
John – Port Royal, SC

Magnet was great even after finished painting – was able to hang brush to dry.
Celeste – Cape Coral, FL

Due to arthritis in my hand it has been getting harder to hold my paint pot while painting. This product makes it very easy and comfortable to paint for hours. Easy Cleanup
Elizabeth – Lagrange, ME

I have a tiny leak coming from the sink in my bathroom and my HANDy Paint Pail keeps my floor nice and dry.

Ryan - Bridgeport, NJ

I have been a professional painter for over 20 years. Since I am the guy with the fastest, cleanest cutting line, I always do the lion’s share of line cutting on jobs. Sometimes that puts me high up on extension ladders, or low down on my back underneath built-in cabinets and deep shelves. When I first encountered the Handy Paint Pail I was about to do a difficult interior job in nearby Carmel, before even using it I was immediately struck by how much sense it made. I bought two on the spot, one for me and another for my painting partner.
I have been using the HANDy Paint Pail for a full year in all kinds of conditions and positions, with all kinds of paints. I just love this invention. My assessment is this has (1) sped up my paint application production, (2) with almost zero drippage, (3) allowed easier and (4) safer painting in difficult places (like high up on extension ladders), (5) permitted me longer painting time endurance and less fatigue before needing to take breaks - giving my paint pail holding hand and fingers less stress (nice soft strap for the back of the hand, and good hand fit). And yes, I have used it a few times on the belt and it has worked just fine. Since I am ambidextrous and often need to switch hands, (6) the HPP lets me quickly snap my brush onto the magnet, pass the pail to the free hand, and resume painting using my other hand.
When up high on a ladder, it increases the safety factor, as I can concentrate more on balance and cut line. I can quickly snap the brush onto the magnet and go up and down the ladder with one hand free to climb.
I'm a very happy customer. Its hard to believe one single HPP has lasted this long. Finally, a local store in my area will be carrying the HPP, so I can finally buy another couple just to have on hand just in case numero uno ever needs replacement.
Hey, just yesterday, with my trusty HPP in hand with dark blue paint, I perfectly cut over 500 feet of trim tightly abutting old expensive golden linen sash in the old Art Deco Balboa Theater in San Francisco in under 6 hours. Because of the Handy Paint Pail, simply put, "painting has gotten easier" for me for over a year - so your trademark tells the truth!
Thanks much, and best regards,

My children use the HANDy Paint Pail to make sandcastles!

Peggy - Kissimmee, FL

I am a 52 year old woman who has professionally painted my entire adult life...I refuse any other cut in bucket.  I am constantly singing praises of your HANDy pail and always telling people to get them...everybody has to have a HANDy pail!

I just got my HANDy Paint Tray this afternoon and I can hardly wait to wake up tomorrow morning and use it!  I haven't even tried it yet, but I would already recommend it.
