Here's a few tips I haven't seen so far...
If you're a Costco member, you can get big sheets of cardboard or heavy brown paper they use between rows of many products. Also boxes are handy to put under paint cans, roller trays, and to put messy stuff in.
Glad Press'n Seal Plastic Food Wrap is good to wrap rollers and brushes for short times. It sticks to itself, and makes an easy air-tight cover.
I personally love those 5-in-1, or 6-in-1 painter's tools. For opening cans, they work much better and faster than the little paint opener tools. They are wider than a screwdriver, and don't mess up the cans at all. The curved part is good for cleaning rollers, and the sharp part is good for reaming out nail holes before filling. And of course, you can use it as a scraper.
Most tools at Home Depot are as cheap or cheaper than Amazon, with a 90 day return period. If you have an online account and use any charge card, you don't even need to save receipts - they can look it up, and so can you.
Get a painters tool like this. Gets all my prints off. Just keep the flat end against the build plate and it will slide under.:

I use a paint tool like this one which offers a lot more power than a putty knife and tap with a hammer as needed.
