The fact that you brought it back fixed says a lot about your character. The fact that you asked before taking it and made a connection with the owner, says even more.

Derek I agree that your heart is in the right place. Definitely need so much more of that today. What a wonderful act of kindness. Love watching VGG

You, sir, are a fine gentleman. Returning that snow blower was a genuinely first-class thing to do and makes me realize that there are still a few genuinely nice, caring and understanding people in the good, old, US of A. Thanks for making an old man's day and a single mom's load a little lighter! All the best to you, Jessica and the boys!!

Great video and awesome gesture. My dad (84) has still has his 1962 Ariens snow blower with a 6 HP Techumseh "Snow King" Ezee Start engine. It has started on the first or second pull for 59 years and get used every winter. My dad still clears his neighbors drive ways after every snow fall.

That was a very beautiful thing you did for her. Thoughtful and kind. You often say “black as your soul.” What I’ve seen on this channel goes to show how inaccurate that wording regarding your soul is. I do understand it is for the fun of it. It even makes it more fun when you say it, knowing how warm-hearted and kind you really are. Keep up the good work! That goes for all of you in the family business. 👍🏻😊

That thing is just like my 30 something year old Roper snowblower with an 8hp Tecumseh. Got it from my step mom after my dad passed away some years ago. Had been sitting for probably 10 years. Was able to clean the carb and replace the friction drive wheel and have been using it ever since. My neighbors are amazed how far it shoots snow. Very nice of you to donate it back to those in need.

"A little bit of solidarity goes a long way" - your the greatest Derek!

Derek is not your everyday mechanic. He may act simple, but that’s just a front. Great act of kindness at the end…

You are amazing and really a great guy, I myself just did the same thing for my neighbor she is an older lady but I fixed up her snow blower for her. She tried to pay me but I told her that's what neighbors are for. I do also help her out by snowblowing her driveway out when I do mine
