Pix of Cheap Assed tool collection

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Ok, I use a paint roller tray. They come in all sorts of sizes. I clean mine
when I'm done with the liquids and it hangs nicely from the 3/4" air pipes
in the shop. When I have to search through that coffee can of bolts for just
the right one, I can pour them out in the same pan for sorting. Since the
paint pan pours nicely I've even had it double as a funnel on occasion.

So do I win the "cheap assed tool" contest? Let's see three in one, cheap,
and with built in storage hooks.
