WD-40® Brand Invites DIYers and Pros to Repair, Not Replace in 2026
The WD-40 Brand Repair Challenge is back, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship and the power of a repair
After inspiring hundreds of doers, makers and fixers to repair the items they rely on every day, WD-40® Brand is bringing back its Repair Challenge – an open invitation for DIY enthusiasts and skilled professionals to demonstrate that choosing repair over replacement is achievable, powerful and creates a lasting impact.
Now through Aug. 15, participants are encouraged to submit their most impressive repair for a chance to win a $5,000 grand prize. Whether it’s well-worn gear, trusted tools, broken down bikes, old cars, or everyday fixes, all repair projects are welcome.
“Every repair tells a story. Some are quick fixes, but others take real ingenuity, creativity and grit. This challenge is designed to celebrate the people who keep things working longer while highlighting the economic and environmental benefits of repair in today’s throwaway culture,” said Felicia Reno, U.S. brand director at WD-40 Company.
