13 Things Handymen Don't Want You to Know About WD-40 (#6 Saves $220)
Before you call a handyman for another "quick fix," make sure you know what's already sitting in your garage! In this video, we break down 13 things WD-40 can actually do around your house, based on how it works, real-world repair costs, and the exact service calls it can save you from ever having to make.
WD-40 handles far more than a squeaky hinge. From freeing rusted bolts and stuck windows to removing sticker residue and reviving a fully seized deadbolt — a fix that can save you upwards of $220 on a lock replacement and rekey — we break down exactly how it works, why it's effective, and the simple technique for each job so you're not left guessing.
We'll also cover the three rules that separate a smart fix from a bigger problem, including when WD-40 isn't the right tool for the job and what it should never be used on.
Whether you're tackling a squeaky drawer or a lock that hasn't turned since last winter, this video gives you the inside scoop on the cheap fixes the pros quietly charge a fortune for.
