How Using a Pothook Will Help You Paint Safer from a Ladder

Few painting projects can be completed comfortably within arm’s reach. Unfortunately, while a ladder will certainly solve that problem, it will usually create several more. For example, if you’re planning on painting from a ladder without one of these, think again. Consider your options: you’ll either have to set your bucket on a rung, or you’ll have to balance on the ladder without a free hand to steady yourself. If you don’t feel like falling or spilling on the sidewalk, hang your bucket from a rung with a pothook and avoid having to make the choice.
