Belt Bucket Featured on Home Construction and Improvement Blog

This is what the The Home Improvement Expert at www.homeconstructionimprovment.com has to say about the Belt Bucket:

"Lately I’ve been swamped with all kinds of new home improvement products and tools to review. So, I thought it might be fun to start featuring some really cool new tool ideas. The first one to catch my eye was the Belt Bucket by PBP Industries.

If you’ve ever painted from a ladder you know that it’s never easy finding a comfortable, reliable, sturdy way of holding your paint bucket. I’ve spent countless hours perched on ladders painting trim, siding, drywall and ceilings and I typically hold a paint bucket in one hand and the brush in another. This is why I think this great new Belt Bucket is such a great idea!

The Belt Bucket offers quite a few features and benefits that make it a cool new tool!

* One fill = one quart of paint and covers 400 linear feet
* Unique, hands-free design is OSHA-compliant for ladder safety
* Secure clip holds paint brush or mini-roller steady
* Multiple buckets can attach to belt to handle additional paint colors or applicators
* Disposable liner features built-in roller grid and attachable lid for safe paint storage
* Easy, one-step clean up

I think this is a great product idea. I’m a huge fan of products that improve safety and productivity. If you plan on doing some painting on ladders then I suggest you consider the Belt Bucket."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 25, 2009 – PBP Industries, a leading developer of paint tools and accessories, today announced that its flagship product, the Belt Bucket, was the recipient of the prestigious Retailers’ Choice Award at the 2009 National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. The Belt Bucket is a unique, patented tool for painting that allows quick, easy and safe access to paint and is ideal for edging walls, trim work and multi-step finishes. The award recognizes the hottest new products available for retail and is determined by a panel of home and hardware retailers from across the country.

“We are honored the Belt Bucket was chosen out of the thousands of new products featured at this year’s show, and that the recognition came from retailers who know firsthand what consumers want” said Melody Masters, CEO of PBP Industries. “We have worked diligently to ensure that the Belt Bucket addresses the common frustrations of the DIY and professional painter, and it is gratifying to have our hard work recognized by such an influential panel of judges.”

The specially-contoured Belt Bucket is attached to a commercial grade tool belt to fit comfortably at the waist and holds enough paint to trim a standard room. The unique, patented design will not spill when used according to manufacturer’s recommendations, and the liner insert with attachable lid allows paint to be stored for future use. The Belt Bucket was recognized with the Retailers’ Choice Award for its innovation and for the significant business potential it offers to retailers.

“New products are the lifeblood of the industry. The Retailers’ Choice Awards program recognizes the top products each year that demonstrate strong sales potential for retail,” said Scott Wright, NRHA manager of training and communications. “The award also creates a strong bond between retailers and manufacturers due to the fact that retailers choose the winners.”

The Belt Bucket is sold as a kit including the bucket, adjustable belt that fits up to a 52” waist, clip to hold brush or mini-roller, and a disposable liner. Additional liners and lids can be purchased separately. The July issue of Hardware Retailing will feature complete information on the recipients of the 2009 Retailers’ Choice Awards.
