The hanger assembly may be discrete with respect to at least the upper elongated portion of the handle, and may be provided as an insert assembly in a pocket of the handle. The hanger assembly includes a body part having a surface groove, and a hanger hinged to the body part for enabling the hanger to pivotably move between a retracted position stowed in the surface groove, and an extended position extending from the surface groove for hanging the paint brush from the object. A connection portion of the hanger may include laterally spaced apart arms and a pivot rod extending between the laterally spaced apart arms to form a connection loop. A connector may interloop with the connection loop to connect the hanger to the body part.
