Abstract: A holder or wrapper apparatus for paint brushes and other small tools is preferably made of a flexible, porous (breathable) material such as canvas or fabric, and may include a plurality of folding panels or flaps that fold over and fasten upon one another with hook and loop fastener portions. The retainer apparatus also includes a magnetic patch or insert that is itself covered with fabric or like material to prevent damage to metal finishes.

Abstract: A utility cage for vehicles is particularly shaped half octagon upwardly from a wide horizontal base. The cage is primarily designed for use on the bed of a pickup truck and has adjustable attachment fittings compatible with stake apertures in the pickup truck bed side walls. The cage has tubular frame support members and tubular framed panels fully covered on one side by expanded metal material. Conformingly shaped side panels removably pivotally attached to a frontal end panel and rear support members can be exchanged, reversed, and turned over for placement into a variety of use positions. A rear panel is upwardly hinged to the rear support members for opening, closing or removal. A reinforced removable top panel can be used as a secondary bed in a pickup truck, as a loading ramp, or as a table-like extension the pickup truck tailgate. The side panels can be turned upwardly and a covering placed over the caged area.
