ALLIGATORBOARD
For those serious DIY’ers and
tradesmen who think a fiberboard pegboard simply won’t
cut it, there’s AlligatorBoard.
Manufactured from 20-gauge
steel, AlligatorBoard pegboard is
much stronger and more durable
than ordinary pegboard; it won't
warp, tear, discolor or rust. It features strength-reinforcing dimpled
holes, and with the included
hardware it’s easier to install
than other pegboards. There’s no
need to add framing—the built-in
5/8-inch flanges let you mount
directly to any wall. AlligatorBoard
holds up to 90 pounds when
mounted on wall studs and
comes with a 5-year warranty.
A variety of panel and strip
sizes are available, and the open
corners make it easy to run
speaker wire or extension cords
behind the installed panels.
SPEED DROPS
This is the first advancement
in drop cloths since—well, the
invention of drop cloths. Speed
Drops use semi-rigid panels with
straight edges that unfold flat in
accordion style when you drop
them to the floor. This design
eliminates bunching and twisting,
and its low profile lays beneath
the swing of a door without posing an obstruction. There’s no
need to bend down to situate its
position. Just kick the Speed
Drop in place against the wall,
and the straight edges create an
instant barrier with maximum
coverage protection. When finished painting, just fold it back
up to transport or store it. In
addition to the Floor Drop, also
available is a large Area Drop for
use when painting ceilings, a
Stair Drop designed with semi-rigid panels that fold easily over
treads and risers, a Door Drop
that fits around jambs, as well as
a Toilet Drop and Ladder
Sneakers to prevent scratching
the floor. For more information,

PAINTSMART TRAYZ
PaintSmart-Trayz puts a clever
spin on a roller tray, giving it a
mounting hook for use atop a
ladder. What we like about the
design is its vertical orientation,
which makes it easy to rake
excess paint off the roller. In
fact, the steep pitch of the
PaintSmart-Tray makes wiping
off excess paint even easier than
with standard trays because the
excess paint drains to the reservoir at the bottom. PaintSmart-Trayz also have clips for two
brushes and a 9-inch roller. It’s
made of sturdy plastic, holds two
quarts of paint and is backed by
a lifetime warranty. PaintSmart
Trayz also feature an easy-to-carry handle and a drain spout to
collect and save unused paint
with minimal mess. Visit
