WD-40 Multi-Use Product protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture and lubricates almost anything. WD-40 EZ-REACH features an attached 8-inch flexible straw that bends and keeps its shape to get into hard-to-reach places.
"},{"body":"WD-40 Specialist Penetrant contains a proprietary blend of ingredients that work fast to free rusted bolts and other stuck parts. The capillary action penetrates into tight crevices, threads, and seams to break the bonds that hold stuck parts together. It helps prevent rust and corrosion from re-forming and leaves behind a lubricating layer. The professional-grade formula is low odor, working effectively without harsh, lingering scents.
\nUse Penetrant on nuts, bolts, pipe threads and rusted things that are stuck and won't move! It is safe to use on most common application surfaces, including most metals, plastics, and rubbers when used as directed. If unsure, test on a small area first.
\nThe permanently attached Smart Straw® Sprays 2 Ways® delivery system allows for pinpoint application or a wider spray, giving you different options to fit the job.

This exclusive product will be available at The Home Depot stores nationwide beginning June 1.
\nThe 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.
\nThe 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®.
\n“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.”
\nMore on the limited-edition can:
\nThe 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.
\nWhere to get the limited-edition can:
\nThe 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.

\nThe upcoming 15th season of “King of the Hill” will premiere this summer with all 10 episodes on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally.
