My dad, who passed away some years ago, was a good man and quite handy, but he never thought to teach his three daughters about how to do the mechanical and woodworking projects that he so enjoyed. I wish I had urged him to teach me. So, now I have you, dad, to help me with these things. I just replaced my sister's dead car battery after watching your video. Her battery had stuck wing / butterfly nuts on the metal hold-down strap, with one of them possibly being cross-threaded. They were not coming off with turning by hand. I was hesitant to use a pliers on the wings for fear of snapping them off, so I placed a needlenose pliers with flat tips around the round metal base of these butterfly nuts, turning a millimeter at a time, and success! I am very grateful to you for your help and for also instilling the confidence that we can do these jobs. You are making this often challenging world a better place, one new car battery at a time!👍☺️
Father's Day is coming up on June 21, 2020. Guess which tools this Dad would like for Father's Day?!?! (Hint) - A set of wrenches and Deepwell sockets that includes 10 MM.
My dad has taught me everything from how to use every tool imaginable to how to do an oil change in my car to how to replace a whole toilet and everything in between. I’m 31 years old (woman) and I love still learning things from him. Not only because he’s teaching me valuable things so I can be self sufficient , but also because I love spending time with him. You, sir, are an amazing human being and I hope everything good comes your way. Thank you for being the dad that so many people never got the chance to have ❤️
When my sister was about your age she was living in a townhouse. Postage stamp size front yard, and a little electric mower. Everyone told her "be careful you don't run over the cord......... She ran it over anyway.😂 She unplugged the cord and got her tool box. Her neighbor (a guy) was seriously impressed when she cleaned up the cut ends, bared some copper and spliced the cord together. Then sealed it well with electric tape. Neighbor staring in disbelief asks "Where did you learn to do that, she replied from watching my dad and 5 brothers.
My dad died earlier this year. Sadly, I never got any advice from him like this… or much of anything else. I didn’t even meet him until I was 18. The man running this channel is a good man. So many comments on here are tear jerkers. Good work sir. Thank you 🙏
Can you teach us driving. I know this is dumb but my parents never thought me how to drive and maybe if you could just please show like maybe the different ways to get ready to start driving , how to reverse how to parallel park those things. Thank you if you even read this God bless you!
Same. I'm a 22 yr old male and all my whole life I was never taught on how to drive a car because I was apparently obsessed with racing games as a kid enough that my parents fear I'd crash the car like I did in video games.
@@DadhowdoI Ya... I kinda' figure your life has changed a little... actually alot!!! I do hope that you and all your loved one's are well and healthy!!! 💕
I went ahead and did this a few weeks ago. Swapped batteries. The day after I had quite the scare when I was leaving for work. On a stat day too and running late. Car wouldn't start. I tightened the screws more, after a few failed tries I was ready to call uber, but one more try. Some screw on the the black spark plug needed more tightening, I did just that and I was on my way.Thanks dad :')))))))))
Lost my dad to leukemia when I was 23. I still had so much to learn, and I still to this day do. Thank you for creating this channel. Thank you for your selflessness. Thank you for teaching those of us who didn't or couldn't have the opportunity to learn. I am very thankful and I can't wait to see more of these videos.
Omg thank you dad! One less thing to have to overpay a mechanic for! Edit: a video on how to handle yourself at the mechanic or while buying a car would be amazing ! Especially as a girl I’m always worried I’ll be duped Thank you! Have an awesome day
Confidence is a big one, I noticed when I first started going to the mechanic for various basic things the could tell the could wring the money outta my pocket. Once I started learning more about how my car worked and what needs to be replaced when they can bombard you with a list of things that are "wrong" with the vehicle. A common thing I see Is that they will give you a list of stuff that might be worn down and tell you that its unsafe to drive but in reality its just normal wear and tear. As for buying a car I haven't crossed that road yet but I'd assume the same sort of principles apply (Know what you want, do plenty of research, and don't feel like you can't disagree with their opinion)
Super Andy lol for sure that’s the way I’ve been handling it either bringing my bf or a male friend along, but it would be cool to feel comfortable and knowledgeable doing it myself!
Ryan Fitzgibbons thank you so much Ryan! I have definitely noticed better service when I’m knowledgeable about what needs to be done or what has already been taken care of. I often turn down their extra fixes list, what’s the best way to tell when something on that list really does need to be fixed, should I bring it elsewhere for a second opinion and then go ahead with the fix if they say it’s serious as well?
@@bellabigotti1728 My family has been going to a small local shop for 20+years and we've gotten to know and trust the owner. Eventually the knowledge of what and when becomes common sense sorta like you can rather easily as the vid shows change your battery and wiper blades but an oil change requires special equipment. Your car should come with a manual telling you how to diagnose some problems, what to worry about and if you or a dealer/mechanic should fix it. Im happy to try and answer any more questions you might have!!! :)
My dad doesn't want to talk with me, if I want to learn something from him, he says: You are stupid, I will do it myself. I am very grateful that you can teach me this stuff
I lost my father 22 years ago (I was only 21 at the time) and the loss I have felt over the years not having him to just call for things like this has been immense. What an absolutely amazing thing you are doing - we need more good like you in the world!!! Thank you! ANDDD I have a car right now in my driveway with a totally dead battery - I can’t wait to follow these directions this weekend and get that thing moving!❤️❤️

Not even halfway through and I have to tell you, your heart. Is so pure. I feel so much love. This is appreciated so much more than you will ever know!
I enjoy listening to you just because your so authentic. I’m a women who’s dad died when I was one year old. Not only your patience but your tone of voice is comforting. Basic. No extra talk just practical things. I don’t mind if your information is not always right but you read the comments and make adjustments. No dad has all the correct info but you give what you know. Not everyone has that. You are best. It’s so easy but no one was given this time and info. You are doing a great service. Hugs from a Swedish distance....as you know, we are controversial. Kram/ Kristine expat Sweden .
My father was present in my life but never taught me any basic necessities to know, I no longer speak to him and just recently ran into issues with my car. I cannot find anyone to help me with taking my battery out to get it checked and so to see this video and how easy you explain everything with no judgment, makes me want to cry less now lol. Thank you ❤️
I'm in Australia and watching the u.s. today show and they featured you so I thought I'd check out your channel. It's fantastic that someone makes videos about changing a battery or a tire etc on a car, or how to tie a tie. Things I think us younger people should learn that sometimes we don't these days. Much appreciation from Australia 🙂
I never comment on TH-cam videos but you just seem like the sweetest and most caring man/dad ever. Your family are so lucky to have you and I think you are so lovely for doing these videos. I hope you have all the success possible! X
Thank you so much for this tutorial and the encouragement! My dad was nearly zero presence, but I have a handy Mom who showed me how to change and gap spark plugs, oil, do tire pressure,etc., when I was 18, plus basic hand tool skills. During the pandemic I had to learn how to gut and drop in toilets, do basic replumbing with pex, some light electrical work and other light home fixes. Stuff I had never done before. I'm still learning. So grateful to see Dads like you helping and encouraging us 'kids'. Sending you a big hug ~
My dad passed in 2010 in a motorcycle accident. I remember watching him work on the cars and build things, but I didn't retain alot, I wish I paid more attention. Now I'm a single mom of two girls and I wanted to be self sufficient not only for me but so they they can be too. They actually saw me in action when I unclogged their bathroom sink and bathtub after watching your videos. You're amazing and thanks for helping me be amazing by extension :)
I clicked on youtube and saw the video, and it's like Christmas morning. I can't wait to listen to 'Hey kids' and get to feel for a little bit like I have a dad that cares. I haven't made it through a video yet without crying. You're amazing
Changing my battery for the first time soon and was at a loss, until I came across this! I love these videos. Best source of Dad Knowledge™. It's a little trippy, you kinda talk and sound like my actual Dad, but I have a relatively negative relationship with him. So it's like seeing my Dad with empathy instead of apathy. If he was a better person and cared. Thank you for all that you do. Your videos are not only educational, but in a lot of ways, cathartic.
Wow, thank you for such an amazing video! I know nothing about cars apart from how to put petrol in and how to drive (I drive a manual though so I don’t know if that gives me any points) and it doesn’t seem so scary anymore!! I never knew that a stranger saying they’re proud would ever make me cry though 💕
I'm from Russia. There are a lot of families without a father. And my family is one of them. In my country, little thought about other families, so everyone is for himself. And your vlogs help me a lot. I once again understand that foreign people are just the best! Thank you. Really, thank you very much.
Thank you so much, "Dad"!! ❤ I knew from my last oil change appointment when they did an 80,000 check up that my battery was low, but it was kind of a waiting game. Came out from work (night shift) this morning to find my car was dead. Today was that day. Lol you helped me unattach everything, and my sister swooped in to help me re-attach it properly. Your video helped me GREATLY!! I knew you from reels on Facebook, so when I came to TH-cam and searched for a how-to video and found yours, I immediately clicked. You're AWESOME!
Internet dad i want to say how amazing what your doing is. I was fortunate enough to have a dad (he was a drunk but a dad none the less) and i think its absolutely amazing what your doing here filling the gap in alot of people's lives and providing that common knowledge for people that wouldn't get it otherwise. On behalf of all people. Thank you sir
My lord you are the sunshine of 2020. Just spending this time with you watching these videos makes me happy and reminds me everything is going to be alright.
I'm the handyperson in my house and even though my dad lives with me and could each me how to do all of this stuff, all he does is patronize me and demean the work I try to do because he always has a better idea and I'm stupid and whatever. Having a supportive presence, even online, goes such a long way. ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for all you're doing 🥰
Due to a combo of an old battery and not driving much due to quarantine, I needed a new battery. Thanks to your video, I successfully changed my first battery on my own. How awesome!
Listen, I just have to say thankyou . Thankyou so much. My girlfriend's battery died. When she told me about it (while I was at work) I instantly went to TH-cam to figure out how. I wanted to be reliable. Show her I can do things. BUT I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT. That is, until I saw your video. I changed the battery with the few tools I had, she turned the car on ...and boom. It Turned on 👍👍👍👍I didn't tell her exactly how I learned, I kept that to myself. So thankyou for making me look like the coolest person ever, definitely gave me big brownie points . Thanks to you
Wish you had been around 30 yrs ago, of course there was no internet but I definitely would have bought any video recordings(VHS tapes etc) about this exact idea. Bet your kids are very proud of you. As tears flow down my face. Miss my dad and never had anything, or anyone, had to learn myself. Huge respect!!!! GB
Don't worry! There's very little chance of being shocked by a car battery. You have to touch both posts at the same time to draw any current and even so, as long as your hands aren't wet and you're not touching with any particularly sensitive areas you won't really be in much danger of anything but a "Ow! That #$#@$ing hurt!" You really have to be handling the battery in a pretty irresponsible way for that to happen though. Pay attention and you'll be right as rain!
@Dimosthenis Karamparpas That's true! It'll also protect you from all the gross acid crust. I know I'm rather leery of having sulfuric acid anywhere near me, oxidized or not.
Thanks so much for that video. I had problems with my car due to the lack of driving in the whole corona time we're in right now, so much that it did not even start as the battery was completely discharged. Even though i was able to resurrect it, I still bought a new battery but was unable to put it in myself as i was afraid of the electricity on the plus part of the battery and how to touch it. You're video helped me a lot getting some general understanding! As my dad lost quite a lot of his ability to speak / think clearly, your videos literally bring tears of joy to me, only a simple sentence like 'you've got this'. Even though i am also already 31, sometimes you just need a little bit of that in your life. All the best to you from Bavaria btw, cheers!
Pretty simple really, just push the clutch all the way in, shift, press on the gas slowly, and remove pressure from the clutch at the same time slowly, if you jerk your foot off the clutch you’ll jerk forward. If you don’t put enough gas you’ll stall... it takes some time to get the hang of, but it’s pretty simple. I would just watch a TH-cam video and you’ll get it soon! Good luck! Definitely the best way to drive
I've driven stick a long time, at first you can look at the RPM gauge and you notice that in the lower gears like 1 2 or 3 you don't want the RPM's past about 2 or 3, you'll start to hear the engine sound very loud and sounds kinda like the engine is screaming at you, haha, so you don't want that. You want to shift before that happens. After you have learned to drive stick, you won't even look at the RPM gauge, you'll just know when to shift, it comes naturally. It's also best to learn at a big empty parking lot or country roads, a lot less stress. Good luck!
My girlfriend and I were looking around for how to remove the battery properly and found your video. We aren't complete novices, we just wanted to make sure which side to disconnect first so we don't blow up. That being said we were wondering why you were over explaining things. Now after watching a TH-cam clip about your channel I came back and totally understand. Thank you so much for what you do.
Not mine. My coworkers know my tools are free to use however if its MIA I'm out for blood and hunting the last person to touch my personal tools. So they're very careful to return my tools after they finish. I've had my 10mm for over a year now
I have a dad who has taught me all these things. He lives across the country and I called him and he walked me through changing my brakes and rotors. I still watch all these videos because this is so valuable and many of these skills have been lost. ❤❤
So I absolutely got on the bandwagon about a year ago when you first became popular. I watched a few videos and slowly drifted away. Well, my car battery died I was stubborn enough to not wanting to call a toll truck. I almost teared up when the video started and I realized it’s you again. Feels like a lost kid coming home after a long long year. Thanks dad. It’s nice to be home.
Not gonna lie, this channel is brilliant for all of us folks whose dads didnt really teach us the important stuff in life because they were too busy working.... :(
I discovered this channel through a link in Facebook to an article about the man. I am 14 and it’s been a long time since I had a father figure, because my mom and dad did not go on with their marriage because of problems. Don’t get me wrong my dad was a good man, I still had fond memories of us going to the arcade or going to Mcdonalds to eat for lunch. It’s been I think 6 or 7 years since I last saw him personally, now he is somewhere abroad and surprisingly with no new family, because he still wants to go back with my mother for the sake of me. But that is now too late as now I have a step-dad, he is also a good man too but I just dont feel comfortable with him, he taught me how to do weightlifting and that’s pretty much it, and the fact that he is a Seaman that is in a boat for the entirety of the year does not help. Pretty much now I learn the manly things from my own like shaving, etc. from the internet or youtube. I even just learnt how to tie my shoelaces 2 years ago by myself. So I am very thankful that someone out there in the world does things like this, it make me cry. I am posting this at every recent video so that he notices or atleast someone notices
I love this channel. Thank you for what you're doing, I did have a father figure in my life but for those that do not, this content is incredibly helpful and useful. You sir, are a beam of hope for the kids that have not had the opportunity to learn useful skills from a father. I applaud you!
My dads a truck driver and by the time I got a car he was away to much and to old to help me with car stuff or much of any handy man stuff if he cant just talk me thru it. This is such a sweet idea. I wish the best for this dad. 🥰
Dizzy well I’m 21. ^.^’ but thank you!! I’m sure Kane didn’t mean to be harmful or anything, but I appreciate you looking out for kids in the comments!!
@@karthyarosewood6495 everything has batteries these days. You'd be surprised by all the batteries in the shop I work at from 130lb commercial bus batteries to a AAAA (no its not a typo its even thinner than a triple A)
I always look forward to your “HEY KIDS!” 😭 Thank you for sharing this helpful video. Will forward this to my brother because his car battery needs to be changed 🙂
Thank you so much! My dad wasnt there when I was born. He’s been in my life but I see him every two weeks if I’m lucky. He loves me but not as much as my stepbrother and half sister. He’s not there to teach me stuff in my daily life so you helping me is the greatest. I can’t thank you enough
This was really helpful! Could you show us how to change out electrical outlets/switches and wall plates? I have almond-colored switches and outlets, and would love to change them out for white, but I'm a little hesitant about disconnecting/reconnecting the wiring.
Thank you so much for your time and all the work you do too make these videos. Thank you for being a wholesome and positive influence and father figure for us all to look up to. ❤️❤️❤️
Dad I'm sorry that you're swamped... I just want you to know that you're so brave. For doing this. And everytime I look at your channel I begin to cry because I know how many lives you have touched... How many lives you may have saved. I just want you to know I love you for doing this. I love you so much and I don't know where you are but if you ever come to California I'm a bartender, and if you drink I'd love to make you a cocktail or buy you a beer and if you don't I will make you an amazing fresh lemonade or something from scratch... Just to say thank you for everything. For all that you have no clue that you've done. ❤️💘❤️ Love Always. #LoveAlwaysGiveLove
@@DadhowdoI you're so sweet, you're more than welcome 🤗 ❤️ Thank you for doing what you do and teaching us what you do.. I just got a stud finder and now I know how to use it thanks to you!! 😁
I lost my father in August of 2018. I watched this video and changed it myself a few minutes ago. You saved me $100's from a mechanic. Thank you so much!

Literally cried 27 minutes just because of that
Ugh.

He is dad
I don't want to...I DO say it. As well as listen intently to his 'dad jokes'.
Me too and I’m a 33 year old dad
I bet his actual kids are so proud of him
I would cryyyy if he was my dad
His internet kids are so proud of him!
They better be!!!
Yeah they are i got here because of them

"I'm proud of you for trying" what a huge motivator to just hear someone is proud.
Not even halfway through and I have to tell you, your heart. Is so pure. I feel so much love. This is appreciated so much more than you will ever know!
Everything time he says “hey kids” I immediately tear up.
Ty so much for following me back! Im glad you enjoyed the review I did of you!!! I definitely genuinely support everyone
"I am proud of you for trying'' how someone can dislike this?
That’s all the dads who left!
I enjoy listening to you just because your so authentic. I’m a women who’s dad died when I was one year old. Not only your patience but your tone of voice is comforting. Basic. No extra talk just practical things. I don’t mind if your information is not always right but you read the comments and make adjustments. No dad has all the correct info but you give what you know. Not everyone has that. You are best. It’s so easy but no one was given this time and info. You are doing a great service. Hugs from a Swedish distance....as you know, we are controversial.

my dad is an alcoholic and he’s never taught me anything as a kid so i’m really grateful for you being here :)
My father was present in my life but never taught me any basic necessities to know, I no longer speak to him and just recently ran into issues with my car. I cannot find anyone to help me with taking my battery out to get it checked and so to see this video and how easy you explain everything with no judgment, makes me want to cry less now lol. Thank you ❤️
I'm in Australia and watching the u.s. today show and they featured you so I thought I'd check out your channel. It's fantastic that someone makes videos about changing a battery or a tire etc on a car, or how to tie a tie. Things I think us younger people should learn that sometimes we don't these days. Much appreciation from Australia 🙂
Just had to change my battery in STL after 12 years. I love you and your doing great. A lot of us need you and we are thankful your here.
I never comment on TH-cam videos but you just seem like the sweetest and most caring man/dad ever. Your family are so lucky to have you and I think you are so lovely for doing these videos. I hope you have all the success possible! X
Thank you so much for this tutorial and the encouragement! My dad was nearly zero presence, but I have a handy Mom who showed me how to change and gap spark plugs, oil, do tire pressure,etc., when I was 18, plus basic hand tool skills. During the pandemic I had to learn how to gut and drop in toilets, do basic replumbing with pex, some light electrical work and other light home fixes. Stuff I had never done before. I'm still learning. So grateful to see Dads like you helping and encouraging us 'kids'. Sending you a big hug ~
You got this!
Remember “ Protect this man at all cost!”
My dad passed in 2010 in a motorcycle accident. I remember watching him work on the cars and build things, but I didn't retain alot, I wish I paid more attention. Now I'm a single mom of two girls and I wanted to be self sufficient not only for me but so they they can be too. They actually saw me in action when I unclogged their bathroom sink and bathtub after watching your videos. You're amazing and thanks for helping me be amazing by extension :)
hi dad! 👋🏻 please never stop with greeting “hey kids!” and all the dad jokes.
You have just the kindest calmest demeanor. Listening to you makes me think everything will be okay.
I swear your shirt had "Be God to your elf" written on it and for about 2 minutes I couldn't stop laughing
I clicked on youtube and saw the video, and it's like Christmas morning. I can't wait to listen to 'Hey kids' and get to feel for a little bit like I have a dad that cares. I haven't made it through a video yet without crying. You're amazing
THIS is the purest channel on TH-cam! AND YOU sir are the kindest man ...MANY Blessings to YOU
I don't understand who could dislike this video. Smh, this man and his channel are nothing but wholesome and positive
“Hey kids!”
Me at my screen while everyone is asleep: HI DAAAD
Changing my battery for the first time soon and was at a loss, until I came across this! I love these videos. Best source of Dad Knowledge™. It's a little trippy, you kinda talk and sound like my actual Dad, but I have a relatively negative relationship with him. So it's like seeing my Dad with empathy instead of apathy. If he was a better person and cared. Thank you for all that you do. Your videos are not only educational, but in a lot of ways, cathartic.
Wow, thank you for such an amazing video! I know nothing about cars apart from how to put petrol in and how to drive (I drive a manual though so I don’t know if that gives me any points) and it doesn’t seem so scary anymore!! I never knew that a stranger saying they’re proud would ever make me cry though 💕
I'm from Russia. There are a lot of families without a father. And my family is one of them. In my country, little thought about other families, so everyone is for himself. And your vlogs help me a lot. I once again understand that foreign people are just the best! Thank you. Really, thank you very much.
We need each other! 🙏
@@DadhowdoI You're right, Dad :)
I'm so happy you made this video. I really needed to learn how to change my battery as i might have to soon.
Thanks dad!!
Thank you so much, "Dad"!! ❤ I knew from my last oil change appointment when they did an 80,000 check up that my battery was low, but it was kind of a waiting game. Came out from work (night shift) this morning to find my car was dead. Today was that day. Lol you helped me unattach everything, and my sister swooped in to help me re-attach it properly. Your video helped me GREATLY!! I knew you from reels on Facebook, so when I came to TH-cam and searched for a how-to video and found yours, I immediately clicked. You're AWESOME!
These videos are fantastic 10/10 would and will recommend to everyone
Internet dad i want to say how amazing what your doing is. I was fortunate enough to have a dad (he was a drunk but a dad none the less) and i think its absolutely amazing what your doing here filling the gap in alot of people's lives and providing that common knowledge for people that wouldn't get it otherwise. On behalf of all people. Thank you sir
My lord you are the sunshine of 2020. Just spending this time with you watching these videos makes me happy and reminds me everything is going to be alright.
I'm the handyperson in my house and even though my dad lives with me and could each me how to do all of this stuff, all he does is patronize me and demean the work I try to do because he always has a better idea and I'm stupid and whatever. Having a supportive presence, even online, goes such a long way. ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for all you're doing 🥰
Due to a combo of an old battery and not driving much due to quarantine, I needed a new battery. Thanks to your video, I successfully changed my first battery on my own. How awesome!
Listen, I just have to say thankyou . Thankyou so much. My girlfriend's battery died. When she told me about it (while I was at work) I instantly went to TH-cam to figure out how. I wanted to be reliable. Show her I can do things. BUT I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT. That is, until I saw your video. I changed the battery with the few tools I had, she turned the car on ...and boom. It Turned on 👍👍👍👍I didn't tell her exactly how I learned, I kept that to myself. So thankyou for making me look like the coolest person ever, definitely gave me big brownie points . Thanks to you
But whats with the disclaimer? Did somebody try to sue you?!?! They better SQUARE UP 🤬
Wish you had been around 30 yrs ago, of course there was no internet but I definitely would have bought any video recordings(VHS tapes etc) about this exact idea. Bet your kids are very proud of you. As tears flow down my face. Miss my dad and never had anything, or anyone, had to learn myself. Huge respect!!!! GB
Dad lost his 10mm. Happens to the best of us.
Very true!
I already know how to change a battery and yet I still sat here for over 10 and a half minutes to watch this video. What a wholesome guy, seriously. 🧡
The thing that 'scares' me is the thought/possibility of getting shocked, but I know it won't hurt that much
Don't worry! There's very little chance of being shocked by a car battery. You have to touch both posts at the same time to draw any current and even so, as long as your hands aren't wet and you're not touching with any particularly sensitive areas you won't really be in much danger of anything but a "Ow! That #$#@$ing hurt!"
You really have to be handling the battery in a pretty irresponsible way for that to happen though. Pay attention and you'll be right as rain!
@Dimosthenis Karamparpas That's true! It'll also protect you from all the gross acid crust. I know I'm rather leery of having sulfuric acid anywhere near me, oxidized or not.
@@KurosakiYukigo Thank you for the reassurance, I'll definitely keep that in mind
@Dimosthenis Karamparpas Thank you!
Thanks so much for that video. I had problems with my car due to the lack of driving in the whole corona time we're in right now, so much that it did not even start as the battery was completely discharged. Even though i was able to resurrect it, I still bought a new battery but was unable to put it in myself as i was afraid of the electricity on the plus part of the battery and how to touch it. You're video helped me a lot getting some general understanding! As my dad lost quite a lot of his ability to speak / think clearly, your videos literally bring tears of joy to me, only a simple sentence like 'you've got this'. Even though i am also already 31, sometimes you just need a little bit of that in your life.
All the best to you from Bavaria btw, cheers!
can you do a video to know when you have to change gears while driving with stick shift? Please
Pretty simple really, just push the clutch all the way in, shift, press on the gas slowly, and remove pressure from the clutch at the same time slowly, if you jerk your foot off the clutch you’ll jerk forward. If you don’t put enough gas you’ll stall... it takes some time to get the hang of, but it’s pretty simple. I would just watch a TH-cam video and you’ll get it soon! Good luck! Definitely the best way to drive
I've driven stick a long time, at first you can look at the RPM gauge and you notice that in the lower gears like 1 2 or 3 you don't want the RPM's past about 2 or 3, you'll start to hear the engine sound very loud and sounds kinda like the engine is screaming at you, haha, so you don't want that. You want to shift before that happens. After you have learned to drive stick, you won't even look at the RPM gauge, you'll just know when to shift, it comes naturally. It's also best to learn at a big empty parking lot or country roads, a lot less stress. Good luck!
Would love this one!
the purpose of your channel is sooo useful and darling it makes my heart melt i-😭❤️
Don’t forget to bring the new battery’s receipt if you’re returning the old battery after the purchase! Some stores require this
My girlfriend and I were looking around for how to remove the battery properly and found your video. We aren't complete novices, we just wanted to make sure which side to disconnect first so we don't blow up. That being said we were wondering why you were over explaining things. Now after watching a TH-cam clip about your channel I came back and totally understand. Thank you so much for what you do.
Every toolbox, every day, is missing their 10mm everytime you need it
Not mine. My coworkers know my tools are free to use however if its MIA I'm out for blood and hunting the last person to touch my personal tools. So they're very careful to return my tools after they finish. I've had my 10mm for over a year now
I have a dad who has taught me all these things. He lives across the country and I called him and he walked me through changing my brakes and rotors. I still watch all these videos because this is so valuable and many of these skills have been lost. ❤❤
Great job with the battery 🔋😊👍
I'm always learning.
are you the romanian version of dad how do i?, good idea ;)
Jeremy Basset Yeap, thanks! 😊🤘
So I absolutely got on the bandwagon about a year ago when you first became popular. I watched a few videos and slowly drifted away. Well, my car battery died I was stubborn enough to not wanting to call a toll truck. I almost teared up when the video started and I realized it’s you again. Feels like a lost kid coming home after a long long year. Thanks dad. It’s nice to be home.
Glad you're back Lily. 🙏🏻
Not gonna lie, this channel is brilliant for all of us folks whose dads didnt really teach us the important stuff in life because they were too busy working.... :(
Watching thru the whole video and I ain’t skipping no ads let’s get dad his TH-cam check love you dad
Thanks Steph. :0)
I discovered this channel through a link in Facebook to an article about the man. I am 14 and it’s been a long time since I had a father figure, because my mom and dad did not go on with their marriage because of problems. Don’t get me wrong my dad was a good man, I still had fond memories of us going to the arcade or going to Mcdonalds to eat for lunch. It’s been I think 6 or 7 years since I last saw him personally, now he is somewhere abroad and surprisingly with no new family, because he still wants to go back with my mother for the sake of me. But that is now too late as now I have a step-dad, he is also a good man too but I just dont feel comfortable with him, he taught me how to do weightlifting and that’s pretty much it, and the fact that he is a Seaman that is in a boat for the entirety of the year does not help. Pretty much now I learn the manly things from my own like shaving, etc. from the internet or youtube. I even just learnt how to tie my shoelaces 2 years ago by myself. So I am very thankful that someone out there in the world does things like this, it make me cry. I am posting this at every recent video so that he notices or atleast someone notices
I’ve learned so much from this guy! Truly the best channel on TH-cam
You're awesome man sorry that you had to post all that in the description. You're doing Great!
I love this channel. Thank you for what you're doing, I did have a father figure in my life but for those that do not, this content is incredibly helpful and useful. You sir, are a beam of hope for the kids that have not had the opportunity to learn useful skills from a father. I applaud you!
Thanks Joe, I am hoping to help the next generation in whatever way I can! 🙏
My dads a truck driver and by the time I got a car he was away to much and to old to help me with car stuff or much of any handy man stuff if he cant just talk me thru it. This is such a sweet idea. I wish the best for this dad. 🥰
Anything this man does is amazing!!
Agree!🤗
You are too kind Carol. :0)
Young men need guys like this out there. Thank you for your time to teach us the process.
You... need to change car batteries??? I never knew.
Lmao
Don't laugh at a child. Whole reason we are all here is to learn.
Dizzy well I’m 21. ^.^’ but thank you!! I’m sure Kane didn’t mean to be harmful or anything, but I appreciate you looking out for kids in the comments!!
@@karthyarosewood6495 everything has batteries these days. You'd be surprised by all the batteries in the shop I work at from 130lb commercial bus batteries to a AAAA (no its not a typo its even thinner than a triple A)
I'm 53 now and never had a father figure, had to work things out for myself. You Making these videos is wonderful thing, thank you.
Glad you’re here Lawrence 🙏🏻
I always look forward to your “HEY KIDS!” 😭 Thank you for sharing this helpful video. Will forward this to my brother because his car battery needs to be changed 🙂
Thank you so much! My dad wasnt there when I was born. He’s been in my life but I see him every two weeks if I’m lucky. He loves me but not as much as my stepbrother and half sister. He’s not there to teach me stuff in my daily life so you helping me is the greatest. I can’t thank you enough
Omg, love this man. Let's protect him guys!
I love this man for speaking compassionately.. Keep it up!!!
Are you selling those shirts you have? I will love to buy one!
me too
@@nella1033 i don't think he is yet, but he's probably got a lot happening right now.
Starts shopping for a father's day gift for my digital dad before my real dad. 😆
This was really helpful!
Could you show us how to change out electrical outlets/switches and wall plates? I have almond-colored switches and outlets, and would love to change them out for white, but I'm a little hesitant about disconnecting/reconnecting the wiring.
I am literally going to be Bob the Builder by the time I graduate. Thanks Dad!
Kayla the Konstructor! :0)
Dad, how do I? I love it! :8)
kind of sad there was no dad joke :(
Thank you so much for your time and all the work you do too make these videos. Thank you for being a wholesome and positive influence and father figure for us all to look up to. ❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t know my dad was white🙃
Dad I'm sorry that you're swamped...
I just want you to know that you're so brave. For doing this.
And everytime I look at your channel I begin to cry because I know how many lives you have touched... How many lives you may have saved.
I just want you to know I love you for doing this. I love you so much and I don't know where you are but if you ever come to California I'm a bartender, and if you drink I'd love to make you a cocktail or buy you a beer and if you don't I will make you an amazing fresh lemonade or something from scratch... Just to say thank you for everything.
For all that you have no clue that you've done. ❤️💘❤️ Love Always. #LoveAlwaysGiveLove
Thanks Awesome Sarah! 😃
@@DadhowdoI you're so sweet, you're more than welcome 🤗 ❤️
Thank you for doing what you do and teaching us what you do..
I just got a stud finder and now I know how to use it thanks to you!! 😁
My dad never did such things to help at home :3 I think I can learn and do this for my family 😾 I just feel so happy to see you..God Bless You
I lost my father in August of 2018. I watched this video and changed it myself a few minutes ago. You saved me $100's from a mechanic. Thank you so much!
No one has talked about how good his genes are looks 30
I changed my car battery hundreds of miles away from home - thanks to this man.
Thanks, dad. You're the best.
“Hey Kids” hits different🥺
