To celebrate the launch of the WD-40 Repair Challenge 2026, we’re giving away five $100 Bunnings vouchers to lucky Making HOME members!

The WD-40 Repair Challenge 2026 has just launched nationally (March 1 – April 18), inviting Australians to showcase repairs of all sizes, from simple household fixes to larger restorations. Now in its fourth year, the initiative not only awards prize money but supports grassroots organisations, including non-profit organisation Repair Cafe and, for 2026, The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA).

As more Australians are choosing to repair, not replace, a renewed pride in practical skills is reshaping how we care for the things we own. From small household fixes to ambitious restorations, repair culture is gaining momentum as people look to save money, develop skills, reduce waste and extend the life of well-loved items.

The Challenge is a global initiative that recognises projects of all sizes, proving that no repair is too small to make a difference.

This year, the winning entry will not only receive $5000 in prize money but can direct an equal donation to a local community repair initiative.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast, handy person or a keen recycler, the WD-40 Repair Challenge invites you to join the movement towards a more responsible way of reducing waste by extending the life of your salvageable products.

  • I would fix my pocketknife. It’s a bit like me, A bent over, rusty, half shut pocket knife. With a bit of luck, WD40 , just might fix the knife and me as well.


  • I’d happily use the Bunnings voucher to repair my creaky front door hinges, fix the leaky kitchen tap, and patch up the cracked drywall in the hallway. Sometimes the little patches make the biggest differences!
