PBP INDUSTRIES PRESENTS ITS NEW PAINT TOOL AT THE NATIONAL HARDWARE SHOW

Innovative Belt Bucket® Makes Painting Easier and Faster

LAS VEGAS, May 5, 2009 – PBP Industries, a leading developer of paint tools and accessories, today announced the launch of its popular Belt Bucket® to the home hardware retail market. 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. PBP Industries is showing the Belt Bucket during the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, May 5-7, 2009 at booth #35728.

The Belt Bucket is a sturdy, durable bucket that attaches securely to the waist with a commercial-grade belt, and features a convenient clip to hold a paint brush or mini-roller. A disposable, replaceable liner allows for quick change of paint color and swift, simple clean up. The bucket’s convenient, 2-point contact allows it to readily slide along the belt for easy reach, or to position it away as you bend, climb or kneel. The unique, patented design will not spill when used according to manufacturer’s recommendations, and the attachable lid allows paint to be stored for future use.

“As a paint contractor I spent years dealing with the daily frustrations of trying to maneuver around a job site, holding paint and tools while attempting to stay balanced on a ladder or roof,” said Larry Masters, CEO of PaintBeltPro Industries. “I designed the Belt Bucket to make painting easier, ensure a safer work environment, and to achieve a quality paint job in less than half the time.”

Key benefits of the Belt Bucket include:
• 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

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.
