The apparatus and method for removably holding a tool on a container having a lip or edge. The apparatus includes a cradle having a substantial open front and top. A bridge or retainer bridges a substantial part of the open portion of the cradle at an opposite end but defines an opening sufficient to allow a tool handle to pass through. A connection or mount is positioned on the underside of the cradle for releasably mounting the cradle to the lip or edge of a container. The handle can easily be placed in the substantially open cradle with the retainer bridge preventing rotation of the handle vertically, the cradle preventing any movement of the handle transverse to the longitudinal axis of the cradle, but the holder allowing the handle to be slid along the longitudinal axis of the cradle into a holding position. In one aspect of the invention, the mount consists of a generally universal clip for various size edges or lips of containers and optionally can include a locking clip for conventional paint can lips.
