Let this first comment be a place to discuss the products mentioned in the video or some alternatives to them.
For Example: Many commenters have said I have my sockets upside down on the organizers! Good tip and I will flip.
Someone said to try "Truwerk" work pants, another said to try a pair of Patagonia hiking pants.
Another viewer asked if the Oboz help to relieve knee and back pain and in my experience they certainly do!
Many folks have commented that they already ordered the NEBO flashlight. Awesome, you won't regret it!
Thanks for all the Birthday wishes to my Mom! Keep them coming and now we have a place to converse about my Top 10 list.
Menards I believe sells metal shelving by the piece similar to what you got, you can even get doors for them as well. Neal have you or anyone bought and used them? Wondering if they are any good.
Happy Birthday Mary, I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with family. Today is my son’s birthday as well so I will never forget your birthday lol. I’ve been watching for years and enjoy waking up to a new video on Sunday, keep up the great work👍🏻
Do you have a link for the fleece lined version of your pants?

They are on sale right now!!
You will never want to use another tape measure after you use that snap-on one they are great!
Happy Birthday Mom!!! Thank-you for building and supporting this amazing son of yours.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
Thank you
Happy Co-Birthdays to your mom! We share a good day.
We enjoy your videos and love that your mom is your strength and support. Thank You Mary, we enjoy the channel and glad you are a part.
Hard work bonds are good ones. Seems to live in all of your families!
Thank you for such a nice comment. And Happy Belated birthday to you as well. I've enjoyed all the greetings immensely 😊
I started watching your channel for the pond build. I stayed for your personality and humility. You make every topic/project you cover interesting and informative.
Happy Birthday, Mary! 🎉
You helped raise an amazing son. May God grant you many years! 🙏🏻
Thank you, Susan. He puts a great effort into it. He really is as you see.❤
I started at the pond build and stayed for the same reasons!!!
@@susanfisher606 I did the same thing! My 10 year old granddaughter loves to watch because she likes him, but also because of the girls.
Happy Birthday Mom. Mine just turned 90 last month. Love your family!!! ❤
Thank you, it was a fun day. I'm lucky to have all our family nearby. 😊
Great video, Neil. This one is going to cost me some money! I've been struggling with plantar fasciitis since June. I was out of town for work at a trade show for 28 straight days - on my feet on concrete and walking many miles every day. Ever since I returned, I've had the issue. I've tried the Amazon inserts, stretches, icing, etc. While it is a little better - I still am not back to normal and time on my feet hurts. It's super frustrating that this has been going on for nearly 7 months now. I normally don't get hurt, and recover quickly if I do. I'm going to try out those shoes. I saw some other great things I probably need (maybe the pants, probably that M12 ratchet, and definitely that pocket flashlight!). Thanks for the great suggestions.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Neil's Mom!!
Happy birthday to you and thanks for bringing up that amazing boy and husband you did your job well mom keep him rolling love all of us on dig drive DIY 🎉🎉❤😊
Happy Birthday Mrs Mary
Thank you. I sure had a surprise to start my day!
Happy Birthday Mary! Thank you for helping raise a fine outstanding man! God bless you and your amazing family
Thank you, George. ❤ Wishing you a Happy new year
Your Mom (and your Dad) have done it right! At the risk of sounding cheesy, they’ve raised a great son, and taught him the importance of prioritizing family. The world would be a much better place if it had more moms like yours.
Happy Birthday Mom.
Thank you, Eric
@ ❤️❤️
Happy Birthday Mary! I enjoy Neil and his family. I can’t wait for his new Video to drop, you should be very proud of your Son, one mother to another! Enjoy your day! 🎉🎂🎉
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉✝️. Moms are the best. My parents are gone now, but there is not a day that goes by that I would not like to have encouraging words from my mom and wisdom of my dad❤️
The world needs more Moms like yours. Happy Birthday Mom 🎉 🎂 🎁
That's such a nice comment. Thank you!
Thanks Neil. That NEBO light is way cool. I am a flashlight nut and always ready to get a new one. Happy Birthday to your Mom Mary. May she have a wonderful blessed day.
Happy birthday Mom! You’ve raised an exceptional boy. I’ve always loved Sundays, but now they’re even a little better. Thanks Neil❤
Thank you! He really is exceptional. He has worked hard to hone many talents that I can't take an ounce of credit for. I'm a lucky Mom is all❤
Happy Birthday Mary, hope for many more? You have been an awesome behind the scenes helper that we just found out how much? Thank you and hope you had a wonderful day young lady. ❤
Happy Birthday, Mrs. MARY!
Neil, I'm not sure how you manage to be so thoughtful in all of these videos. It's more than impressive how you're able to suck us in and get to the same emotional level week in and week out. Aspirational, to say the least. After seeing your top ten things you use, I'm going to put together a top channels list, and you, Sir, are on it. Thanks for sharing, bringing us along, and starting my Sundays on a good note!
I am honored and humbled. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you! Enjoying all the great comments today. I can't think of a birthday better than this. ❤
Happy birthday Mrs Koch have a great day
I had a wonderful day, Thanks 😊
Happy Birthday Mom !
Heramienta con pilas es my favorita!
Saludos
Happy birthday Mrs. Koch
Thank you Colby ❤
Happy Birthday to Mom Mary. Enjoy the videos been watching for a about a year. I'm not even into this type of work I build electronics for a living and consumer electronics is a hobby but I still enjoy the videos 🤣👍
Happy birthday Mary, here’s to many more 🙌🫶🙏🇺🇸❤️
Thank you ❤
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mrs. Mary! You’ve done well!!!
Thank you
@@marykoch5168, you are so welcome! Hope it was a wonderful day for you and your family!
Congratulations mom! Happy birthday 🎉 You raised a great kid, that grew up to be an amazing man ❤
From Denmark! Thanks
Happy Birthday Mary, you've done a fantastic job in raising your son!!!!!
Thank you Wendy! ❤
Mary seems to be a very special mom! Happy Birthday Mary! I've watched your son for a very long time. Several times I watched him repair something and I was able to do it by myself. Very useful videos. He treats his family with so much respect! You should be proud of the way you raised him!!
We are indeed very proud of Neil and are gratified when people see what a good guy he is. He's worked hard to learn and become quite skilled at a lot of things. He's a lot like his Dad. Thanks so much for your sweet comment. ❤
Happy Birthday Mrs. Koch. Have to say I've now got ideas for self-gifting. Probably some of those Milwaukee tools as a result of having to change a flat tire at the entrance of Nashville Superspeedway.
Thanks! That sounds like a pretty dicey place to change a flat. We've had our share over the years
Happy birthday mom! May God bless and protect you and keep you in the palm of his hands.
🧡 Thank you
Happy Birthday Mary, I hope you had a great day 🎂 ❤️
It was a great day! I'll remember this one for sure!
This was a fantastic video Neil!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!
Enjoy the screen shots on the TV behind you, love the pictures of your family! Happy Birthday Mary, may the Lord bless you with many more!!
Thank you, Mitch ❤
Such a touching tribute to your mom.
I know we’ll never meet, but I know we’d be fast friends. We both struggled with having kids, we both have two girls and amazing wives. You and your wonderful family are lovely and your videos are so wholesome. That’s what makes your channel my favorite.
Have a great week!
Happy Birthday Mrs. Koch
Alles gute zum Geburtstag, Frau Koch🎉
❤❤❤
Thank
Happy Birthday MOM!!!
The only gift I have is to compliment you on the humble man you raised.
Compliments on my boys have always been my favorite type of gift, and I thank you for it, sincerely ❤
Happy Birthday “Mom” 💐 all the way from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦. Snowing up here on your Birthday today. Have a good one. 🎉
Good morning Neil! Happy birthday Mary!
Thanks ❤
Happy belated birthday to your mom Neil!! She sounds like a wonderful lady!!😊
Happy Birthday Mary!!! Thanks for giving us Neil and sharing so much of your family with us on UA-cam.
Thank you. 🧡
Happy birthday to your mom Mary‼️♥️🎂🎈
💕 Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Mary! What a beautiful legacy you have woven with love and care for your family. Speaks volumes and how you make the world for them, so much better. May today, and every day after, continue to bring you joy, peace, unconditional love and perfect health. God bless you. 🎂 🎈♥️
Great Video! Thanks for sharing fantastic ideas. Strong work, Neal.
Thank you for such a lovely comment. I've been very blessed to have them all. I know I'm extremely lucky to have them all as neighbors as well. I don't see them all every day, but I'm bound to at least see one of their vehicles on the road!😊
Happy Birthday Mary. I enjoy watching DDD videos. Always a big hit with me is the ones with family. Thanks Neil.
Happy Birthday mom! You did a great job raising your little boy. A very good man.
I wish my mom was still with me.
Thank you for such a sweet comment. I also wish my parents and Jack's were still with us. Miss them
Happy Birthday to your mom!!! A little tip on your socket organizers, flip your sockets over, they sit a little better. Love the videos!!!
Neil, I went through several different pant manufacturers. I found most to be not very durable. I am now sold on Duluth Trading Company Firehose pants, in both lined and unlined. They are very tough, decent looking, and reasonably priced when on sale (like Black Friday). I am really rough on work clothes, and Duluth seems to stand up. I also get their Firehose shirts, both lined and unlined.
Happy Birthday Mary.
Such a great channel Neil. I appreciate what you do.
Thank you, Chad.
It's not hard to pick out your favorite. It's your mom, hands down. Lot's of love to your mom Mary. Happy Birthday sweet lady. May you have many more and be a continued blessing to your son and his family.
Good one! :)
Thank you for your sweet comment Kevin.
Happy Birthday Mary!! What a wonderful family - good job!
Thanks! I'm a very lucky Mom!
Happy Birthday Mom!!
Great video Neil, Especially when You speak and show Your family life...
Some of which pulls at the heart strings....
Mike M.
Loved the tribute to your mom. A week from Friday, December 20, will be 10 years since my mom passed. Hard to believe she’s been gone that long. Glad you celebrate your mom today, happy birthday ma’am.
Sorry to hear that but also thank you.
Thank you, Danny.
You never stop missing them ,God Bless your mom
I lost my Mom 21 years ago Dec 21 and my Dad 12 years ago Dec 25 , still the hardest part of Xmas season. I can think about them with happy memories all year but that’s really hard at Xmas. Sorry for your loss.
Always look forward to Sundays and seeing a new video! Always learn something new! Although, this video just cost me $70 for two of those handy flashlights. 😜
Happy birthday Dig-Drive-DIY Mom!🎉
It's awesome to watch someone who is so close with their family!
Happy Holidays to the Koch family! 🎄🦌🎁
Thanks and Merry Christmas ❤
Happy birthday Mama Koch 🎉
Thank you ❤
One of the best things I did was switch to apple devises! Happy birthday Mom!!👍👍
Neil, you are a lucky man, I lost my mum when she was only 48 and I was 26. I miss her still and think of her every day.
Happy birthday Mary, may you have many more ❤❤
Thank you. Sorry for your loss at such a young age. It's hard at any age, but worse when they're not there for life's big events ❤
@@marykoch5168 Mary, that was back in 1978, my eldest daughter was just four months old. Lots of water under the bridge and lots of events where she has been absent in person but I still feel her presence and know she is looking over us. Take care ❤
Happy birthday, Mary! I hope you have a blessed day. You raised Neil right. Kind and helpful.
Thank you, Don. He really is ❤
I throughly enjoy this channel. It feels so real and authentic. It’s like home.
Happy birthday Mary - you nurtured a very nice person into the world ❤️👍🇨🇦
Happy Birthday Mary!
I’m so glad Neil mentioned you today. Your dedication and influence on your family is evident in the closeness and love that they share. It is ladies like you that hold the fabric of our civilization together.
On a more personal level… when I first found Neil’s channel, you responded kindly to comments that I made. Your thoughtful and gracious words were welcomed. Knowing that you were watching what I said was encouraging to me… not only was it pleasant that you were interested… it also made me think before I wrote. I changed from making flippant remarks to having a conversation.
Sitting down to check on what the Koch’s are up to has become my Sunday morning relief. Telling Neil my thoughts is a way of blowing off steam or sharing a mutual interest. Knowing you may read it as well, makes me double check before posting… you see, I wouldn’t want to say anything that is disrespectful or hurtful… to your family or to you.
Happy birthday ma’am… and, Thanks.
My entire family enjoys your comments Dave, as do I of course. Thanks for your continued presence and contribution to this channel, which has helped to extend our “family” well beyond the corn field edges of Harlan!
Have a great week my friend!
@ that’s good to know, thanks Neil
It's ALWAYS a pleasure to read your comments. In this mornings video when Neil said "There's one viewer who's been there from the beginning, Jack and I both said "Sassafras" as he said, " My Mom". He got me good. Such a sweet thing to hear and of course I got emotional. He's such a great guy and I can't take any credit for it. I think all our boys turned out to be decent humans in spite of having me...I think that's what most mom's think.
Don't be afraid of offending any of us. We all look forward to your comments every week. Sometimes humorous, sometimes informative, and always insightful. I believe you and your Mrs would fit right in here. (Please don't check the grammar, it's one of the subjects I should have paid more attention to.)
so many good parts of this video. I love the shoutout to mom, go mom, good job raising such a good family!
Moms are always 21 years old 😂 I’ve only been watching since the pond build but come back every week just because it’s nice family fun not fake or for the sake of content
Happy Birthday, Mrs Koch,
I really enjoy your sons videos!
thanks for honoring your mom because all moms are special and should always be recognized!
What a beautiful tribute to your Mom! ❤️
Certainly was!
Mary, ya did good raising you boy. He's humble, honest, and caring. A job well done! Happy Birthday!
Thank you for your nice comment. Neil is exactly as you see him. He's a good man with lots of skills. His Dad is the same way and I'm a very lucky lady to have all the Koch boys nearby.
@marykoch5168 amen, to that
Happy Birthday Mary !!! Neil is a lucky guy to have a great mother!!!!
Happy Birthday Mary!! Thanks for raising such a wonderful son. He’s a tribute to the kind of parent that you were.
Thank you Ben
Happy birthday Mary from a very stormy Collieston in Aberdeenshire Scotland. You have a wonderful family have a great day wish you a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year
Thank you ❤ I've enjoyed the greetings from so far. Merry Christmas from the corn fields in Indiana, USA!
Happy Birthday Mary!! Pleasure watching your family content
Thank you. We really enjoy them too 😊
Happy Birthday Mary, from Wales in the UK
I really enjoy all the comments Neil gets from so far away. Thanks!❤
My mother passed away in 2013. . . . of course she was a good one. My brother spoke at her memorial service and my son and his wife flew from Connecticut to Saskatoon to play and sing as well. Five cousins put on a turkey dinner to show their appreciation for the things they appreciated over the years in knowing my mother. Your UA-cam channel is a special one indeed. Thank you.
Happy Birthday Mary!! From Alberta Canada! I love watching Neil's videos! Always a week highlight for me! Great job Neil and Family!
Happy birthday Momma Mary. It’s amazing how much it’s obvious Neil has an amazing and wonderful family system. May you continue blessing him.
Thank you. I feel very blessed to have my family. There's always help nearby if we need them ❤❤
Happy Birthday Mary!!!! Can't work in woods without a Pickaroon, made a couple out of old hatchet heads and boys ax handles. One stays in the truck and one on the tractor at all times.
A very happy birthday to Mary, you and your husband are amazing people and I know that because Neil is an amazing man and it’s proof that he was raised right. Enjoy your special day with your loving family. Great video Neil.
Thank you 😊
Happy birthday Neil’s Mom!
Thanks Andy 😊
Your right #10 is the most important,Happy Birthday Mary 👍🏻
Mary, Happy birthday! Enjoy your day you’ve raised an amazing man and family.
Happy Birthday Mary. May you see many more young lady. Stay safe and we'll see you next time.
Very nice and touching tribute to your mom. Where would we be without them ?! I like that you show what viewers have sent you through the year and thank them personally through your video. Stay safe and warm, see you next Sunday.
Thanks!
You rock Mrs. K! Happy birthday!
😊 Thanks
Happy Birthday Mom!!!
Happy Birthday to your Mom!
By the way… I also have the HF socket organizers and FYI they’re actually designed for the sockets to be faced down with the drive end up so that the sockets sit flush on the tray and you could read the sizes more easily especially on the deep sockets!
Love the channel! 😁
Faithful every Sunday morning viewer here. Like yours, Neil, my mom was my biggest suporter in all of my endeavors. I expressed my appreciation and love to her many times during my adulthood, right up until we lost her a few years ago. Your tribute to your mom really touched me (enough so that I'm actually commenting on a UA-cam video). Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for all you do, and to extend a heartfelt Happy Birthday to your amazing mom.
Loved reading this and your sentiments about your mother. I miss mine too. Thanks for being a faithful viewer, too. We watch Neil's video first thing Sunday mornings.
A mother you would pick in any and ever lifetime……. What a blessing. What a legacy! Happy birthday Mary!
What a sweet comment. Thanks, Bryan 😊
The love…one of my favorite things about the channel - with family, neighbors, and even random strangers on the internet, y’all are an inspiration. Happy birthday ma’am!
Thank you!
Hope you have a Happy Birthday Mrs Mary Koch 🎉
Happy Birthday Mary! Thank you for the amazing job you have done raising an incredible son. Bless you, Neil and the entire family.
Thanks for your sweet comment ❤
You have a good boy Mary in Neil. His upbringing shows and you and your husband must be proud. Cheers to the Koch family. 🇨🇦
Happy Birthday Mary! 🎂🎊♥ Enjoy everything about YOUR day
Happy Birthday Mary. Hope you had a wonderful day. 😊🇬🇧
Happy Birthday Mary! Thankful for all our mothers, their support is unmeasurable.
Thank you Nathan. I think so too
Happy birthday Mum
Lots of love from Australia 😊
I am not the fair-weather viewer. I only started watching you around a year and a half ago. I have too many interests, and only stumbled on your channel when I bought a Heatmaster wood stove. All the channels I watch have some level of craft, from welding to woodworking to crop production and livestock. Your viewers watch because your tenacity is contagious. The fact that you don't market to us is a huge improvement over other channels. Cheers.
I appreciate hearing that sir. Thanks
@@digdrivediy No need to call me sir. I am undeserving of such titles. Keep on doing what you do Neil. We'll continue watching as long as we are comfortable.
If you haven't watched any of Neil's older videos, you should check some out if you have free time. There's an exceptional one about an old corvette that's a favorite of mine.
My mom was the same way until the day she died. Came to every game I ever played or coached and even came to men's league softball games when I was in my 40s. Happy Birthday Mom!
Thank you, Brad. 😊
Great video! Happy Birthday to "MOM!" I hope it was a great day!
HAPPY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
Happy Birthday Neil's Mom "Mary". You have a fantastic family. I live in Utah where family's are very important, so it impresses me to see such close bonds as your family has. Hope you have a lot more wonderful Birthdays.
💖 Thanks Lynn. Jack and I both come from close families and still enjoy Sibling Suppers.
@@marykoch5168 Dear Mary, Thank you for the kind reply. Sunday family dinners are a great chance for me to see my Kids and my Grandkids. Keep up those "Sibling Dinners" they get even more important as you start to lose Family Members.
We need a sniffles warning before these videos start!😂 Happiest of birthdays to Mary! ❤
Indeed, we do! Thank you!
A big happy birthday to neils mom loved the little clips he put in his video of your younger days enjoy your day and many more
