Wow, found this great little tool that actually works. I have been hard at work prepping my old teak picnic table and benches - sanding heavily, priming and then painting. Using all sorts of paint brushes and having them tip into the paint can is always such an inconvenience. Shaped like an "L" clothespin, the top half of the Firm Grip is a paint can open and the flat edge has a magnet attached to hold your paintbrush. This can all be yours for $3. For the money, I purchased 4 since I have been painting carribean colored adorandack chairs - well worth the investment! You can find it at home centers, hardware stores and paint stores.
