A sponge sander configured for selective attachment to a dust-collection system includes a housing having a housing-interior surface defining a sponge cavity and a sponge seat configured for removably retaining a determinately- dimensioned sanding sponge. The sponge has an abrasive sanding surface, a back surface opposite the sanding surface and a sponge periphery defined between the sanding and back surfaces. The sponge is retained within the sponge cavity such that (i) the abrasive sanding surface can engage a work surface to be sanded, (ii) fluid-flow channels are maintained between the sanding sponge and the housing- interior surface and (iii) the spaces are in fluid communication with a fluid port defined in the housing so that when a negative pressure is applied across the fluid port by a vacuum system external to the housing, dust created by sanding is drawn into the fluid-flow channels and out of the housing through the fluid port.

A container including a containment body for receiving and containing material therein, the containment body being provided with at least one side wall, and a bottom wall. The container also includes a fastening strap separate from the containment body, and selectively cooperable with the containment body, the fastening strap having a first end removably mountable onto the at least one side wall of the containment body, and a second end removably connectable onto a lower portion of the containment body via a connection mechanism, wherein in such an operative configuration of the fastening strap, a passage is defined between the at least one side wall and the fastening strap for receiving a portion of a user's hand or an accessory. The container can be used as a hand-held trim paint pail.

A utility tool, such a putty knife, includes an elongated handle for manual handling of the utility tool, a blade and a screw bit assembly. The handle extends substantially along a longitudinal axis, and has front and rear portions. The blade has an anchoring portion anchored within the handle and an operating portion extending out from the front portion of the handle. The screw bit assembly is rotatably mounted about the rear portion of the handle, has a screw bit, and is operable between a non-operating configuration where the screw bit is nested within the handle, and an operating configuration where the screw bit is drawn out of the handle and securely maintained in a fixed configuration so as to be positioned at a slanted angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle. In addition to being able to carry out other various functions, in drywall applications and the like, the tool by virtue of its design and components enables a more ergonomic grip, and to have a greater lever effect for screwing fasteners with its screw bit assembly.

A device for cleaning different types of objects impregnated with paint, the device comprising a handle, a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is mounted operatively on the handle and is configured to clean a first type of object, such as a paint brush, for example. The second portion is mounted operatively on the first portion and is configured to clean a second type of object, such as a paint roller, for example. This cleaner is therefore a multi-purpose tool, enabling both brushes and rollers to be cleaned using the same tool, thanks to its integrated roller cleaner. This device is particularly advantageous in that its various components and characteristics, including the design of its separation elements (e.g. the grill with oblong holes and the disposition of its unique teeth on the grill, etc.) to improve cleaning efficiency.

A paint liner having a containment area within the paint liner for receiving and containing paint, the containment area defining a peripheral edge provided with a rim, the rim being provided with male and female components, the male and female components of the paint liner being positioned, shaped and sized with respect to one another so that the paint liner can be operated along first and second operating modes, where in the first operating mode the male component of the paint liner is insertable into a corresponding female component of another paint liner so that the paint liners can be nested into one another, and where in the second operating mode the paint liner is turned over so that the male component of the paint liner is insertable into another corresponding female component of the other paint liner in order to have the first paint liner cover the containment area of the other paint liner.
A sanding device for use with an abrasive sponge includes a base, at least one retaining mechanism, and at least one engaging mechanism. The base has opposite supporting and working surfaces, the working surface being shaped and sized for receiving the abrasive sponge. Each retaining mechanism is mountable onto the base, and is configured for removably securing a first portion of the abrasive sponge against the working surface of the base. Each engaging mechanism is mountable onto the base, and is configured for projecting out from the working surface so as to penetrate a second portion of the abrasive sponge when resting against the working surface of the base, each engaging mechanism being further configured so as to draw the second portion of the abrasive sponge away from the first portion. Each engaging mechanism is operable between a first configuration, where it is disengaged from the abrasive sponge thereby allowing the abrasive sponge to be removed from the working surface of the base, and a second configuration, where it is penetrated within the second portion of the abrasive sponge and has drawn the second portion away from the first portion so as to securely maintain the abrasive sponge against the working surface of the base.
