‘King of the Hill’-Themed WD-40_® Multi-Use Product to be Introduced at The Home Depot

SAN DIEGO – April 30, 2026 – WD-40_® Brand is teaming up with Disney Entertainment to launch a limited-edition “King of the Hill”-themed can, inspired by the beloved adult animated series. This exclusive product will be available at The Home Depot stores nationwide beginning June 1.

The collaboration traces back to a 1998 episode of “King of the Hill,” in which Hank Hill struggles to open a can of the Classic WD-40_® Product before reaching for a second “backup” handy can from the holster on his belt, a moment that has been referenced, celebrated and shared by fans ever since.

The connection resurfaced when WD-40 Brand asked fans on social media what they wanted to see on a limited-edition can of the Classic WD-40 Product, and "King of the Hill" emerged as the top response. From the product’s appearance in the series premiere to Hank’s “backup can” moment and even a cameo in the show’s recent revival, the product has been part of Hank’s world from the start. The collectable can celebrates the real-world “Hanks” — DIYers, everyday people, pros and anyone who can get the Job Done Right_®.

“WD-40 Multi-Use Product has been a trusted solution for more than 70 years, and our end users have always been at the heart of everything we do,” said Patricia Olsem, Division President, Americas, at WD-40 Company. “The limited-edition can is a celebration of our fans and a way to honor a piece of the brand’s legacy.”

More on the limited-edition can:

The limited-edition can features a familiar element from the show — the neighborhood fence where Hank and his friends often gather — and prominently displays the “King of the Hill” logo alongside the tagline: “Two American icons. One limited-edition can.” The can also showcases the series' iconic animation style with illustrations of common uses on the back, paired with the classic blue, yellow and red colors fans know and love.

Where to get the limited-edition can:

The limited-edition can will be available exclusively at The Home Depot June 1-Aug. 31 nationwide for a limited time or while supplies last. Availability varies by location and online.
