Abstract: An offset handle and bracket assembly for mounting a handle offset from center on a paint bucket includes a handle adjustably attached to a pair of opposing brackets on a paint bucket. The handle pivots on a first pin inserted in a hole in the bracket adjoining another hole below. The pivoting adjustable handle is secured in a selective position, by positioning a second set pin on the handle in one of a plurality of set pin holes in the bracket. The set pin holes are spaced apart and adjoin a common arcuate slot allowing movement of the set pin among the set pin holes. These handle pins adjustably secured in matching holes wholely contained in the bracket support the bucket during lifting by handle while maintaining the handle in an orientation offset from vertical.
