Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises a device for holding a paint bucket and the like on an inclined surface. The device comprises a generally rectilinear and horizontal support surface having four edges with vertical sidewalls extending upward from each edge of the support surface. At the front edge a pair of downward extending feet protrude. At the rear edge of the support surface a rear-leg assembly extends downward from the support surface. The support surface further includes an adjustable armature and two rigidly mounted stops. The armature and two stops cooperate to selectively hold a paint bucket and can be adjusted for varying sized buckets. The armature includes an adjuster for selectively locking the armature. The rear leg assembly pivotally mounts to the support surface allowing the support surface to remain horizontal when the device is resting on an inclined surface such as a sloped roof.
