Derrick your a great teacher you've got lots of patience. My Dad would of pushed me out of the way and said just let me do it . And Bentley , loves hanging with Dad . That's awesome . Thank you for being the man / Father / Husband you are . Great example.
The bad thing is my dad doesn’t know anything about working on shit so at 18 I’m the one pushing him out of the way lol. Not really but he learns a lot from me.
Man, that look on his face when it started.... bought with his own money, fixed by himself - with dad's help. You know it really doesn't matter if it ever would've worked or not. The memory alone was worth it. Great job young man....
You're a great dad Derrick " i grew up with out a dad those little humans are very fortunate to have a dad like you !!! Blessings to you's all including Jessica 🙏🙏🙏👍❤️ !!!
Bradley's smile win it started was priceless. I remember the first time I got a flathead running when I was 12. And I'm 70 now! Never forgot that feeling of accomplishment.
Every time this young man puts up a video, I find myself smiling. He is out there with his father, learning, growing, and spending time making memories. He is a natural. You can see the love this family has for each other every time we are blessed with a glimpse into their world. Thanks for sharing your first purchase and showing us how she runs.
So proud of Bentley for saving his money and finding a “slightly used” cart, then fixing on it. Now he’s invested in it with $ and time and is learning all the systems and physics and logic and problem solving, and so much more. It’s a win when you get kids learning a lot without them even knowing it, while spending time with dad AND having the reward of having fun. A great life lesson, work before pleasure.
A lot of fathers out there can learn a thing or three by watching Derek interact with his little humans. I've had the honor of meeting these little guys and they are some of the best behaved, well spoken/mannered boys I have ever met. My capilator is off to the parental units!
A lot of fathers these days could probably learn vehicle maintenance from his kids lol. I dated a broad who made a complete fool of a dude in front of his kid because he had a flat on his VW and couldn’t figure out how to jack it up and put the spare on, so she pulled over and did it for him 😂
I love Bentley's full explanations and his passion for resurrecting old iron, good job young man. Mom and Dad are doing a fantastic job raising their kids. I noticed that Bently said, "as long as it runs and drives we are good to go". He did not mention needing brakes just like his Dad! Now to get Jessica to help with the interior upgrades.
Nothing better then the sound of pride from the tiny fellers doing their own thing. Then hearing the pride from the feller as he watches son rip around.
What a sense of pride a guy must have felt watching his little humans zipping around the ol' homestead in a go kart they bought and fixed up with just a little help from dear ol' dad! Brings a tear to the eye don't it!
the look on his face when it ran for the first time was priceless. he will cherish these memory’s for the rest of his life. it’s also very cool to see derek teaching him the best a safest way to do everything. i can’t wait till bentley turns 16 and they’re building all kind of madness for them both to drive lol
This makes me miss my grandad. I never had a good relationship with my parents sadly but my mothers father I loved with all my heart. When I could drive myself I would visit him every two weeks. We would build go karts, bird tables, chairs from wood and play darts. Closest thing to a dad I've ever had. This video and the relationship here is a sight to behold. So wholesome, so genuine and I wish you all the best for the future. Your sons will definitely not grow up broken like I am.
Hey there Vice Grip Garage family, just wanted to express my appreciation to Derek for how you include and teach your family about mechanics and the necessities of life. Especially your attention and love for your boys, they are going to make a pair of fine mechanics if they choose to carry on the Vice Grip Garage legacy. You're one heck of a dad Derek, keep on keepin' on fellers and fellets.
My parents split when I was 15 . I earned bagging groceries an opportunity to purchase a Sears two seater . It was a memory I will always cherish . Watching your boys brings it back. Thank you!!!
The look on Bentley's face when it started was priceless. It was the most surprised and proud "I did it!" moment EVER. The more he does, the more confidence and knowledge he'll gain. AWESOME
12 year old me is saying "What a blast!". 70 year old me is saying, "oh my aching back!". Great job by an up and coming mechanic. I bought my first motorcycle at his age using my own money. I started fixing and flipping them and had my first brand spanking new bike when I turned 16.
Thank you Bentley and Derrick! This brought back so many memories of my youth, learning how to fix/repair the gas powered toys that were broken. I was far better at breaking things, but my pops taught me how to wrench with great patience and encouragement. Not only did it teach me how to think through what wasn't working, but how much more i respected and cared for them when they were running again. Derrick for Dad of the Year!
With the world being as crazy as it is this gives me a great amount of joy and comfort . It's always good to see a child not staring at a video screen and occupying their time with nonsense great job young man.
This kid is GOOD!!! He’s great in front of the camera and he’s been listening to his daddy and he’s got his daddy’s knowledge up in his human computer! Great job Bradley!
Bentley is a natural at fixing things and narration of these videos, As a boy I would have been glued to these videos, That is when I was not doing some of the same stuff with my dad, grandfather and uncles. I learned to fix and operate all kinds of things from cars, trucks and tractors to go karts and appliances just hanging around with the guys in my family. Bentley stay close to your family bud, you may not release it yet but you have a special family in today's world. People like us are blessed with awesome families that care for one another and love each other!!
What a great dad you are derek!!! My dad did the same for me when I was a young and I remember every single moment we had and still have together wrenching together.
Share this video and let's get this little man some views! I know you have at least one friend who'd enjoy it. I'm really proud of him and his initiative. No way I could get my kids to take on a project of making videos for a channel this seriously.
Well done Bently, you are becoming a regular gear head. I enjoy watching you and your Father working on your own hot rods. Derek, after a dozen pulls and it firing off, he looked up to you in search of pride and found it. Niceness Sir, wish I could have been the same type of Dad.
Thanks for the ride, Bentley. Brings back some memories. My older brothers had a two-seater, and all their neighborhood buddies had gokarts too, four others. Theirs were home built single seaters. The one my brothers had was a fancier store bought one with a bigger engine, no seat belts or roll bars. I was tearing up and down the alley like a madman giving rides to all the neighbor kids my age, around 5yrs old or younger. I was 5yrs old. I remember having to tuck it into the shed, and hide out in the house, watch cartoons, waiting for the cops to stop looking for me, on several occasions. I think elderly "safety Sally's" were worried and complained to my mother and the police, because it was fast, and I was just a little tike setting on the edge of the seat just to keep the pedal floored. Anywho...with all the nagging from my mother and old neighbors my dad gave in to getting rid of it, selling it. Worst day ever. I was reckless, seen many times with it up on two wheels, a trick I discovered how to do by accident when trying to avoid a pedestrian, but I was able to show off this up on two wheels move repeatedly after that, with a passenger no less...so maybe my mom and old neighbors had a point, but to this day I don't feel anyone was doing me any favor. This was a long time ago, in the way back 1970's, probably before your dad was even born, just guessin', maybe not. I was just a driver. Wish I had it longer so I'd have learned what you're learnin'. Keep having fun, and learning, and I guess be safe too...at least don't scare the old folks.
You are a good dad. Your son has no idea how lucky he is to have you as his pop. A little heavy on the wrench for the carb bowl but he hasn’t calibrated his arms yet.
This was a great video! The boys know their stuff, what a cool project for him to work on and then enjoy the fruit of the labor! I’m beyond impressed, great job Bentley!
My brothers and I were very lucky as kids to have a dad that knew how to "make" things. He would bring home piles of steel tubing and plates, then weld them up into a go-kart with whatever parts he could find from scrap yards, neighbors and friends. Slap a lawnmower engine on it, and away we'd go on our 2 acre lot of dry California dirt (LOL). Several go-karts, mini-bikes, etc. All home-made. I learned a ton. Great channel. Thank you Bieri family.
Great Job Bently! I used to ride one like that with my cousins and I scraped my butt cheek really bad on some asphalt when we flipped it. Stick a posi axle in it and stay on the Grass. Tell your dad that his grass can grow once you and your brothers are old enough to move out on your own!
Awesome video...loved Bentley sharing his fun with his big brother.....love seeing Dad helping the boys, but, letting the boys do what they can....They will will be fixing all their friends cars and small engines when they get into high school due to the patience and education from the best Father on TH-cam. If only the boys realized how lucky they are to have the parents they have been blessed with.
It feels so great to be a part of your channel! You keep doing this stuff with your Dad and I’m certain the time will come when we’ll see you wrenching at some really great races on some fantastic cars. You’re becoming a very good mechanic!
Derrick, you are one of the rarest fathers in 2022 to teach your children the passion of mechanics, glad to see Bentley loves your passion for mechanics no matter what power motor it is he loves and you are there to guide him and let him make his mistakes to learn as you have and the main thing buy it with his own hard money and wanting to succeed always have faith in your boys let them learn you are the mentor for them and Jessica always stay solid as a family no matter what.
What I took away from here was mostly Bentley's enthusiasm and clarity of speech. However, I also noticed that Derek kept the video centered on Bently (and then Bently and Bradley) and not on himself. Yes, I am really proud of him for doing that! Thanks guys.
My heart is aching with joy. My dad was very much like you, competent, patient and loving. This Little Grip is now another awesome thing to look forward to. And Bentley is so well spoken! Thanks Derek and family!
Soo good to see a young man doing and learning ! Not sitting in front of a video game !! Parenting done right memories that will last a life time. Be proud of yourself young man !!!!
This has filled me with so much nostalgia tonight. I as a child would help my grandad with his classic bikes, now as an adult I have my own bikes to tinker with but still have the same smile when a “junker” kicks back into life. Stick with it little dude, your life will be richer for it. Thank you
Way to go little man, it's so great to see young kids taking an interest in mechanical stuff. Keep it up and you will do awesome things. Good job Dad looks like your raising good boys and good boys turn into great men. It's awesome that you help them so much because with all you do I'm sure your spare time is super limited. Thanks for sharing your family with the world.
Little grip you are so lucky to have a great Dad and teacher. My Dad got me a homemade kart when I was young. Front end was from an old riding mower. seat was part of an old metal lawn chair, engine was from Grandmas 2 cycle lawn boy. The kids in the neighbor hood and I wore out the lawn boy and i was so excited when Dad brought home a 6 hp Briggs. Clutch would break springs. We would start it up on a gallon paint can and push if off when it started. Ran it in the yard.
Congratulations, Bentley and Bradley, you boys have hit it out of the park with this Little Grip Channel. It' great that your mom and dad are so supportive and willing to help you learn the true values in life. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your learning adventures. The Vice Grip Channels are among the best on You Tube,
It's so cool to see two great kids doing just what kids should be doing and reaping the knowledge from two great parents with boatloads of positive reinforcement and letting them get in there fixing and creating.....
Great episode Bentley. Love your go cart. With a little bit of spit, polish and a few mechanicals you'll have a great cart. Looking foward to your next episode. Thanks.
Bentley this is absolutely incredible, keep up the great work! Keep working with Dad and learn as much as you can from him. I'm 52 and I love working with my Dad who is 81 and I learn something new every time.
Derek, Love these vlogs of your son turning wrenches, and getting things working again! The apple don’t fall far from the tree! I‘I’ll be Dipped! Good Job Bradley!!
Excellent video. I love these father and son projects. Letting your kids do the work themselves even when it takes longer is crucial. Having the patience to watch them learn is a sign of great parenting. Thanks for the video. Keep em coming.
I appreciate your descriptions of what's going on, Bentley. I was impressed when you stuck to that pull starting for so long. A lesser man would have just asked dad to do help.
Wow! Great job Bentley, I was literally excited with you when the engine started 😀. Derrick thanks for the family values content, kids truly follow in our footsteps and need our guidance. I think a lot of parents forget that. Best wishes.
Your dad is such a great teacher. My dad would have escalated and done it by himself. Great to see you learn and fix stuff yourself at such a young age! I started wrenching when I was 15 and failed A LOT. So keep it up little feller! Much love from Germany.
Great job Bently! You have a great Teacher, when you get older and life is different you will cherish these memories you are experiencing. The lessons you are being taught will carry on into many other aspects of your life! I always see you pitching in helping your pops on his videos, you're obviously his go to guy and right hand man. You're doing great! Derrick thanks for maybe being an inspiration to young fathers to spend some time with their children, wich is way more rewarding than anything life can offer you! Good job guys!!! I hope you continue to be blessed with success together as a family.
I love to see kids learning how to do something besides staring at a phone or a computer game. From the time she was 3 months old for the next 5 years, until late 2020, we took care of a little girl for a friend. She was my little shadow and always wanted to help so I let and encouraged her. Yes, it took longer to do things with, "help" but it was worth every minute. Sadly, my shadow moved over an hour away in the fall of 2020 and started kindergarten. I miss my shadow and wouldn't trade anything for that time I had teaching her. The most valuable thing we can give them is our time. You sir are seeing the first benefits of that time.
This is the best TH-cam video I have ever seen! Father mentors Son is how America became great! More power to this family!!! You guys rock, I wish you were my neighbors. Cheers from Seattle!
Great job Bentley, you reminded me when I bought my first mini bike and fixed it up. I was about your age, but in the 1970s, after I fixed my mini bike I could outrun all the dinosaurs 🦖 that were around back then 😀
Made my day to see the notification this morning that you had a new video up! Good job on reviving the go-kart! Looking forward to seeing the other improvements you are planning.
This video and channel are GOLD. The leader and the led and inclusion of the led. I got on this video after helping/teaching my 14 y.o. on his 1987 VHS Camcorder he bought with his own money. We did the tear down, assess, part finding/ordering. No better Dad/Son unifier than machines. Hands down.
I could see the boys doing 1/4 midgets! Great job Derek & Bentley! Can definitely see the brotherly love between you & Bradley! This is why you get the views!
What a great job !! You are a smart young man, learning from your Pop ! I could barely ride a bike when I was your age, and here you are, taking apart go-karts !! I enjoyed this video -- what a thrill when you got thing fired up !! Even your kitty- cat was happy for you !! Love those Centerlines, Derek -- can't wait to see that video !!
Congratulations Bentley! So excited to see what you decide to do next. I'll be watching for your next video. Your beautiful face when you got that first start was priceless. Made me cry happy tears. Much love to you and your whole amazing family. You are an inspiration. Keep it up!
This feller will be the master engineer for the world in next few years. He will be a great man just like his dad. Momma Jess should be shouting from the roof tops for the Glory GOD gave her for this family. My hats off to you derr-eek
Well done, Bentley! Looks to me that with a few more tweaks you should have a solid and reliable runner there. Best part of the video @20:00 the garage reveal! Awesome.
I had a similar go cart. This is great to watch. If the chain keeps coming off it might be happening because the frame is twisting just a bit as you corner. Mine did that from time to time.
The acorn never falls far from the tree! Derrek the time you spend with your boys will be your greatest memories! It’s so great to see boys learning something besides a cell phone or video game!
“So my dad doesn’t like us putting gas in stuff” while he proceeds to spill it all over. Absolutely classic.
Way too much...perfect.
Yeppers, I abhor those so-called safety cans. They are anything but and cause more spills than a traditional can ever did.
That was too funny
The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree - or, in this case, the old gas doesn't spill too far from the fuelmakeithappener.
I was laughing so hard.
Never mind the mechanics, this is a master class in parenting. Mad respect and good work kid.
Exactly 💯
Totally agree with you!
Indeed!
Totally agreed
Derrick your a great teacher you've got lots of patience. My Dad would of pushed me out of the way and said just let me do it . And Bentley , loves hanging with Dad . That's awesome . Thank you for being the man / Father / Husband you are . Great example.
@Jay Pipken sounds like we may be brothers lol. My Dad was the same way. But I learned alot from him.
@@williamivy7117 I did as well , and it's possible. Lol
Yes I reckon you're spot on there brother lol
Yup, would have had my butt kick 3 times, and seen more tools fly then when dad and I worked on the 69' Z28.. oh the 90's..
The bad thing is my dad doesn’t know anything about working on shit so at 18 I’m the one pushing him out of the way lol. Not really but he learns a lot from me.
Man, that look on his face when it started.... bought with his own money, fixed by himself - with dad's help. You know it really doesn't matter if it ever would've worked or not. The memory alone was worth it.
Great job young man....
You're a great dad Derrick " i grew up with out a dad those little humans are very fortunate to have a dad like you !!! Blessings to you's all including Jessica 🙏🙏🙏👍❤️ !!!
Bradley's smile win it started was priceless. I remember the first time I got a flathead running when I was 12. And I'm 70 now! Never forgot that feeling of accomplishment.

@9:28 the pride in Bentley's eyes when that motor fired up, priceless! One hundred thumbs up Bentley! Great Job!!!!
Correction: 162 thumbs up and counting!
@@deanpeterson1006 Right on Dean!!!!
Every time this young man puts up a video, I find myself smiling. He is out there with his father, learning, growing, and spending time making memories. He is a natural. You can see the love this family has for each other every time we are blessed with a glimpse into their world. Thanks for sharing your first purchase and showing us how she runs.
Very well put!! 😎🔧🏁
Couldn't have said it better myself, Frank!!
So proud of Bentley for saving his money and finding a “slightly used” cart, then fixing on it.

It’s a win when you get kids learning a lot without them even knowing it, while spending time with dad AND having the reward of having fun. A great life lesson, work before pleasure.
Your son adores you Derek I can see that in his eyes. You’re a good father and example for others. Good job getting that cart straightened up buddy!
What kid doesn't love gocarts I'm happy you got it going!
Can tell He is following dad's footsteps. Good job & good teacher.
A lot of fathers out there can learn a thing or three by watching Derek interact with his little humans. I've had the honor of meeting these little guys and they are some of the best behaved, well spoken/mannered boys I have ever met. My capilator is off to the parental units!
You ain't lying. They are some good kids.
A lot of fathers these days could probably learn vehicle maintenance from his kids lol. I dated a broad who made a complete fool of a dude in front of his kid because he had a flat on his VW and couldn’t figure out how to jack it up and put the spare on, so she pulled over and did it for him 😂
I might be more proud of Bentley than Derrick is. Can hardly wait for his humor to kick in.
I love Bentley's full explanations and his passion for resurrecting old iron, good job young man. Mom and Dad are doing a fantastic job raising their kids. I noticed that Bently said, "as long as it runs and drives we are good to go". He did not mention needing brakes just like his Dad! Now to get Jessica to help with the interior upgrades.
yes, brakes are overrated, they just tend to slow you down.
Brakes are for kids that don't have acres to play on. Just turn and slide. Enjoy
Brakes are a luxury.
Nothing better then the sound of pride from the tiny fellers doing their own thing. Then hearing the pride from the feller as he watches son rip around.
What a sense of pride a guy must have felt watching his little humans zipping around the ol' homestead in a go kart they bought and fixed up with just a little help from dear ol' dad! Brings a tear to the eye don't it!
I love that you’re able to buy it with your own money. Pretty cool.
the look on his face when it ran for the first time was priceless. he will cherish these memory’s for the rest of his life. it’s also very cool to see derek teaching him the best a safest way to do everything. i can’t wait till bentley turns 16 and they’re building all kind of madness for them both to drive lol
16 shoot by time hes 12 hes gonna have 200 subs
Best part of the whole video
I caught that too, his face lit up!
Seeing Bentley’s face light up when the engine starts running is priceless 🙂
This makes me miss my grandad. I never had a good relationship with my parents sadly but my mothers father I loved with all my heart. When I could drive myself I would visit him every two weeks. We would build go karts, bird tables, chairs from wood and play darts. Closest thing to a dad I've ever had.
This video and the relationship here is a sight to behold. So wholesome, so genuine and I wish you all the best for the future.
Your sons will definitely not grow up broken like I am.
I enjoy the brotherly love between the 2. Rare to see a big brother ok with riding with lil bro driving.
Hey there Vice Grip Garage family, just wanted to express my appreciation to Derek for how you include and teach your family about mechanics and the necessities of life. Especially your attention and love for your boys, they are going to make a pair of fine mechanics if they choose to carry on the Vice Grip Garage legacy. You're one heck of a dad Derek, keep on keepin' on fellers and fellets.
Amen brother!
Spent many many days of my youth chasing our cats, dogs and chickens around the property with an old go kart. Good times. 👍🏻
Parenting done right! Well done feller and little human.
Not only is he learning but also years from now he'll have these videos to relive the memories. I think that's the best part.
My parents split when I was 15 . I earned bagging groceries an opportunity to purchase a Sears two seater . It was a memory I will always cherish . Watching your boys brings it back. Thank you!!!
The smile on his face when it finally started was priceless. Derrick these memories will last a life time. Thanks for sharing.
The look on Bentley's face when it started was priceless. It was the most surprised and proud "I did it!" moment EVER. The more he does, the more confidence and knowledge he'll gain. AWESOME
12 year old me is saying "What a blast!". 70 year old me is saying, "oh my aching back!". Great job by an up and coming mechanic. I bought my first motorcycle at his age using my own money. I started fixing and flipping them and had my first brand spanking new bike when I turned 16.
I had the same feelings.
That’s awesome. I wish my dad would’ve taken the time with me to show me all the things you’ve shown your kids. You’re definitely an amazing father
This is awesome the younger brother taking the older brother for a ride! Love it
Thank you Bentley and Derrick! This brought back so many memories of my youth, learning how to fix/repair the gas powered toys that were broken. I was far better at breaking things, but my pops taught me how to wrench with great patience and encouragement.

Man that's a really cool go-kart you got there. It's so much more fun riding with your friends or brothers. Great job Bentley!! You too Dad.
These videos immediately make me smile
Father and son making something good happen! Gives me hope for the future. Great job.
What a great dad you are derek!!! My dad did the same for me when I was a young and I remember every single moment we had and still have together wrenching together.
Probably be years before he truly realize just how blessed he is to have the Father he has.
Bless you Derek.
Share this video and let's get this little man some views! I know you have at least one friend who'd enjoy it.

Watch out Motor Trend! The Bieri Family is taking over. 😃👍
This was so great to see a dad actually interacting with his kids and doing something positive creating memories.
Thanks for the ride, Bentley. Brings back some memories. My older brothers had a two-seater, and all their neighborhood buddies had gokarts too, four others. Theirs were home built single seaters.

Makes a feller feel so good, seeing father and son working together on project's, great job Bentley and Derrick keep up the great work.
And Bentley has time for bro Bradley...stay close to your brother. That's going to be important too.
You are a good dad. Your son has no idea how lucky he is to have you as his pop. A little heavy on the wrench for the carb bowl but he hasn’t calibrated his arms yet.
A Tonya Harding 500 would be a great birthday gift for his tool chest.
This was a great video! The boys know their stuff, what a cool project for him to work on and then enjoy the fruit of the labor! I’m beyond impressed, great job Bentley!
My brothers and I were very lucky as kids to have a dad that knew how to "make" things.

Slap a lawnmower engine on it, and away we'd go on our 2 acre lot of dry California dirt (LOL). Several go-karts, mini-bikes, etc. All home-made. I learned a ton. Great channel. Thank you Bieri family.
DERICK I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH RESPECT I HAVE FOR YOU AND JESSICA YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME ,,GREAT JOB TEACHING THE LITTLE HUMANS BE SAFE GUYS
Great Job Bently! I used to ride one like that with my cousins and I scraped my butt cheek really bad on some asphalt when we flipped it. Stick a posi axle in it and stay on the Grass. Tell your dad that his grass can grow once you and your brothers are old enough to move out on your own!
Zane--I really like that last sentence! We can't let Derek become an old crank! :)
This sure hits a guy in the feels. Very heartwarming. What a ripper! Great purchase Bentley....I'm proud to support ya. Awesome video!
Yes it does, right in the feels.
I don’t know why but I love these videos hope me and my son can be just like this as he gets a little older!
Great parenting ❤ I have a 2 yr old daughter that loves fixing stuff with Dad. we love the show!
Awesome video...loved Bentley sharing his fun with his big brother.....love seeing Dad helping the boys, but, letting the boys do what they can....They will will be fixing all their friends cars and small engines when they get into high school due to the patience and education from the best Father on TH-cam. If only the boys realized how lucky they are to have the parents they have been blessed with.
Nice job! I like seeing the gocart rescues. Keep it up.
Aside from the entertainment that this channel provides, I like to support the father-son time! Good job Bentley.
It feels so great to be a part of your channel! You keep doing this stuff with your Dad and I’m certain the time will come when we’ll see you wrenching at some really great races on some fantastic cars. You’re becoming a very good mechanic!
he's catching right on. Time spent like this with those boys, they'll never forget. The best gift you'll ever give them.
Derrick, you are one of the rarest fathers in 2022 to teach your children the passion of mechanics, glad to see Bentley loves your passion for mechanics no matter what power motor it is he loves and you are there to guide him and let him make his mistakes to learn as you have and the main thing buy it with his own hard money and wanting to succeed always have faith in your boys let them learn you are the mentor for them and Jessica always stay solid as a family no matter what.
Puts a smile in my face seeing his work ethic and pride. Way to go pops Derrick
What I took away from here was mostly Bentley's enthusiasm and clarity of speech. However, I also noticed that Derek kept the video centered on Bently (and then Bently and Bradley) and not on himself. Yes, I am really proud of him for doing that!
Thanks guys.
After all it is "Lil Grip Garage", Vice Grip is the Means for Lil Grip to get out there if he so chooses. But I get what your saying.
Hey phuq face! I said it's Lil Grips page. So how'd you get lost on that???
My heart is aching with joy. My dad was very much like you, competent, patient and loving. This Little Grip is now another awesome thing to look forward to. And Bentley is so well spoken! Thanks Derek and family!
Great tutorial on small engine maintenance. There's nothing better than a parent passing on skills and spending quality time with their kids.

Soo good to see a young man doing and learning ! Not sitting in front of a video game !! Parenting done right memories that will last a life time. Be proud of yourself young man !!!!
This has filled me with so much nostalgia tonight. I as a child would help my grandad with his classic bikes, now as an adult I have my own bikes to tinker with but still have the same smile when a “junker” kicks back into life.
Stick with it little dude, your life will be richer for it.
Thank you
Nice job guys way to go little man, great go cart lots of fun. Need to build a track out there.
Way to go little man, it's so great to see young kids taking an interest in mechanical stuff. Keep it up and you will do awesome things. Good job Dad looks like your raising good boys and good boys turn into great men. It's awesome that you help them so much because with all you do I'm sure your spare time is super limited. Thanks for sharing your family with the world.
hats off to Derek and Jessica these boys are raised right !!!!! such manners and hard workers already it is so nice to see these days
Little grip you are so lucky to have a great Dad and teacher. My Dad got me a homemade kart when I was young. Front end was from an old riding mower. seat was part of an old metal lawn chair, engine was from Grandmas 2 cycle lawn boy. The kids in the neighbor hood and I wore out the lawn boy and i was so excited when Dad brought home a 6 hp Briggs. Clutch would break springs. We would start it up on a gallon paint can and push if off when it started. Ran it in the yard.
Congratulations, Bentley and Bradley, you boys have hit it out of the park with this Little Grip Channel. It' great that your mom and dad are so supportive and willing to help you learn the true values in life. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your learning adventures. The Vice Grip Channels are among the best on You Tube,
It's so cool to see two great kids doing just what kids should be doing and reaping the knowledge from two great parents with boatloads of positive reinforcement and letting them get in there fixing and creating.....
Great episode Bentley. Love your go cart. With a little bit of spit, polish and a few mechanicals you'll have a great cart. Looking foward to your next episode. Thanks.
Bentley this is absolutely incredible, keep up the great work! Keep working with Dad and learn as much as you can from him. I'm 52 and I love working with my Dad who is 81 and I learn something new every time.
Derek, Love these vlogs of your son turning wrenches, and getting things working again! The apple don’t fall far from the tree! I‘I’ll be Dipped! Good Job Bradley!!
Excellent video. I love these father and son projects. Letting your kids do the work themselves even when it takes longer is crucial. Having the patience to watch them learn is a sign of great parenting. Thanks for the video. Keep em coming.
I appreciate your descriptions of what's going on, Bentley. I was impressed when you stuck to that pull starting for so long. A lesser man would have just asked dad to do help.
Wow! Great job Bentley, I was literally excited with you when the engine started 😀. Derrick thanks for the family values content, kids truly follow in our footsteps and need our guidance. I think a lot of parents forget that. Best wishes.
The smile on that boys face when it started was priceless. I think he's hooked!! A forever wrencher!!
Love the smile when it started…….more dads should be like this with their sons….the world would be a better place…
Your dad is such a great teacher. My dad would have escalated and done it by himself. Great to see you learn and fix stuff yourself at such a young age! I started wrenching when I was 15 and failed A LOT. So keep it up little feller! Much love from Germany.
Great job Bentley, I think that was a solid purchase. With some time and a little work, it will be a much nicer machine.
Great job Bently! You have a great Teacher, when you get older and life is different you will cherish these memories you are experiencing. The lessons you are being taught will carry on into many other aspects of your life! I always see you pitching in helping your pops on his videos, you're obviously his go to guy and right hand man. You're doing great!
Derrick thanks for maybe being an inspiration to young fathers to spend some time with their children, wich is way more rewarding than anything life can offer you! Good job guys!!! I hope you continue to be blessed with success together as a family.
I love to see kids learning how to do something besides staring at a phone or a computer game. From the time she was 3 months old for the next 5 years, until late 2020, we took care of a little girl for a friend. She was my little shadow and always wanted to help so I let and encouraged her. Yes, it took longer to do things with, "help" but it was worth every minute. Sadly, my shadow moved over an hour away in the fall of 2020 and started kindergarten. I miss my shadow and wouldn't trade anything for that time I had teaching her. The most valuable thing we can give them is our time. You sir are seeing the first benefits of that time.
This is the best TH-cam video I have ever seen! Father mentors Son is how America became great! More power to this family!!! You guys rock, I wish you were my neighbors. Cheers from Seattle!
Great job Bentley, you reminded me when I bought my first mini bike and fixed it up. I was about your age, but in the 1970s, after I fixed my mini bike I could outrun all the dinosaurs 🦖 that were around back then 😀
Made my day to see the notification this morning that you had a new video up! Good job on reviving the go-kart! Looking forward to seeing the other improvements you are planning.
Finally, something good to watch!
This video and channel are GOLD. The leader and the led and inclusion of the led. I got on this video after helping/teaching my 14 y.o. on his 1987 VHS Camcorder he bought with his own money. We did the tear down, assess, part finding/ordering. No better Dad/Son unifier than machines. Hands down.
I could see the boys doing 1/4 midgets! Great job Derek & Bentley! Can definitely see the brotherly love between you & Bradley! This is why you get the views!
What a great job !! You are a smart young man, learning from your Pop ! I could barely ride a bike when I was your age, and here you are, taking apart go-karts !! I enjoyed this video -- what a thrill when you got thing fired up !! Even your kitty- cat was happy for you !! Love those Centerlines, Derek -- can't wait to see that video !!
Great video! Good job getting that kart up and running! I’m excited to see the improvements you make to it in the future!
Congratulations Bentley! So excited to see what you decide to do next. I'll be watching for your next video. Your beautiful face when you got that first start was priceless. Made me cry happy tears. Much love to you and your whole amazing family. You are an inspiration. Keep it up!
EXCELLENT JOB BENTLEY!!!!!!!!
This feller will be the master engineer for the world in next few years. He will be a great man just like his dad. Momma Jess should be shouting from the roof tops for the Glory GOD gave her for this family. My hats off to you derr-eek
This warmed my heart, reminded me so much of the lessons that my dad taught me. Thanks Derek and Bent.
Well done, Bentley! Looks to me that with a few more tweaks you should have a solid and reliable runner there. Best part of the video @20:00 the garage reveal! Awesome.
I had a similar go cart. This is great to watch. If the chain keeps coming off it might be happening because the frame is twisting just a bit as you corner. Mine did that from time to time.
Love seeing the little ones learning and wrenching on things. Definitely needed for life and independence
The acorn never falls far from the tree! Derrek the time you spend with your boys will be your greatest memories! It’s so great to see boys learning something besides a cell phone or video game!
