Paint Saver Keys
Squeeze every drop from paint tubes without crimping or cracking
Crimped tubes waste paint and frustrate workflow when you're trying to squeeze out the last usable amounts. These aluminum keys solve that problem by rolling tubes evenly from the bottom, maintaining consistent pressure that extracts every bit of pigment without creating leaks or splits along the seam. Each package includes three sizes that accommodate everything from small 37ml watercolor tubes to large 200ml oil paint containers.
The rolling mechanism works like old-fashioned toothpaste keys but engineered specifically for paint tubes' thicker walls and varied diameters. Slot your tube into the appropriate key, turn to wind it tight, and the metal grips create uniform pressure across the entire tube width. This prevents the sidewall buckling and seam stress that leads to those annoying pinhole leaks halfway through a tube.
Beyond waste reduction, rolled tubes stack neatly in storage boxes and stay organized in your palette setup. You'll know exactly how much paint remains in each tube at a glance, making inventory decisions straightforward when planning projects or ordering supplies. The keys work across brands and paint types, oils, acrylics, watercolors, gouache, anywhere you're using traditional metal or plastic squeeze tubes.
