I don’t have a question…just had to laugh trying to remember the last time I heard (or read) the word “fortnightly”!

I recently purchased a basic black belt and buckle for my husband, and I really love the way it looks. So minimal and sleek! (I’m very glad your ad popped up on youtube back in November.)

Really looking forward to these videos. I love “behind the scenes” glimpses into how businesses function, and I think yours will be especially interesting.

Please keep up the good work, fellas and girls, and many thanks from a N.C. fan.

Oh, and YES, Kevin, nice shirt!!

I can’t wait to see the videos in this series. I love what Grip6 is doing. When will we see more EDC products from you? I think the company is in a great position to start making bolt-action pens, pocket-size titanium pry bars/multi-tools, and excellent pocket knives.

I love that the belts are made in the USA. The videos sound fun I would like to know if there is any work being done towards more narrow belts for women. The ones you have are great for holding up a pair of jeans but I would like something that would look great wrapped around a dress or a long shirt with leggings.

I discovered your socks about a year ago and was so pleased I bought a weeks worth for me and for my wife. We are building our own house and a good sock is worth it’s weight in gold. And we love to support American made businesses when we can.

Bang up job!
I was an early adopter and really enjoy the whole host of Grip6 gear!
Keep up the great work not only on the original, and keep the new ideas coming as well!!!
Always in your corner

I look forward to seeing other videos..and the intro of your new products, and also how you evolved from your attempts to keep making better products and all made in the USA…

Hello from Canada! What a great idea and I will be looking forward to your future episodes. I would love to see the whole ‘How it’s made’ process, but perhaps a spotlight at packaging / fulfillment area as they are often overlooked in ‘big’ companies! Thanks!

Love the fact that you manufacture quality products in the USA. I would like to see an episode on your R&D department and how you chose new products. Keep up the great work.

I’d like to see an episode of how to keep a doofus like me from spilling all my cards onto the ground by grabbing my wallet and accidentally pulling on the lever. Where’s the old man safety on this thing?

I work at and grew up around my family manufacturing company, so I love to hear about other American manufacturers. I feel like so many people don’t understand how hard it can be to manufacture in America, so this video series could be a great way to educate people while informing more about your company. What do you consider your biggest challenges with competing with those businesses who only import their products from over seas?

This sounds like a great idea!

Fantastic product! What materials are used to make the Grip6 belt so durable? Or are there manufacturing processes that make these belts so durable? Keep up the great work.

I’m delightfully pleased you using the best of british words “fortnightly” Jolly spiffy ole boy, tally-ho. I do love your wool socks, most impressive. In the future are you planning to modify this product with a thicker upper ankle section, this woiuld be great for hiking during the winter months for us blokes who wear shorts? A video on the making of socks would be most appealing, kind sir!! Cheers;-))

Grip6 belts are the best! I’m a 70 year old customer wearing Grip 6 belts since Aug 2021. After losing 50 lbs I grew tired of punching holes in old belts. At the lower weight I move up and down ~ 10 lbs so tried web belts with supposed “gripping” buckles that kept slipping. I then learned of Grip6 and ordered the 3 pack. Since then I only wear Grip6 belts. They are a perfect fit at any weight. A little more expensive but worth the cost.

Hey! Love the belts! Great product.
My question is: where did Kevin get that awesome shirt?

Caleb Royalty

January 26, 2022

Can’t wait to see more of how the products are made! Could you tell us how you come up with me looks for the belts?

Steve

I’d love to hear more about your challenges in finding skilled labor here in the US. I was really sad to hear that!

I love this concept, I would love to see how you got involved with disc golf, as that’s how and why I found you guys. Love your products, especially my disc golf belts.

Love this idea. I’m really looking forward to the fortnight emails. I would love seeing you make a Colorado belt buckle. There is a lot of art work out there for the Colorado flag. Love what your doing to create jobs in America. We need more “Made in America” companies out there supporting our own families. Best Wishes, Eric

I am here for this series! Can’t wait to learn more about the company.

I followed along with the wallet production issues when they were still on Kickstarter. Many people don’t think everyday use products like this involve much engineering, but I know that isn’t the case.

What is the most unique engineering challenge that y’all have solved? Could be with the manufacturing, quality control, or product design, but I would love to hear about it.

I have bought a number of your products and have enjoyed their quality and workmanship for four years now. I wwould like to see you develope socks for diebetics . I know this would be a great seller. Also I would like to know the care for a belt that has been worn for this period of time. It has been getting stiff at the buckle end. Can they be washed to get their suttlenes back. Thank you again for your quality products. Patrick Rivard.

Awesome products and I have been a fan and customer since the beginning. In the works could highlight the logic, passion, importance of Made in the USA. I for one understand the economics and have no hesitation in spending a little more money for a quality product proudly made in the USA. I also think an “In the works” episode could highlight the way(s) Grip6 is environmentally conscious and how they recycle and perhaps what you do with defective and scrap materials. I look forward to more innovation from an excellent company.

Your company has set a positive example for the small business USA community. I am a fbig fan of your products and will continue to purchase them as gifts or for my personal use into the foreseeable future.
Respectfully,

Your products are awesome! I would like to know how you come up with your eclectic ideas for a new product. From belts, to wallets to socks?!

Josh Edquist

I would love to see the culture of the grip6 team and how working in an innovative and fulfilling environment practically improves not only the final product, but the lives of those on the team.

Your belt is the only belt that I use now. I haven’t tried out the wallets or socks, but I’m thinking about it. Do you have any other products in the works that we aren’t aware of?

James Bynion

I love your products and to see inside your shop is very eye opening. I see some CNC machines. What kind of training is involved with your employees to learn how to use these machines? I wouldn’t think everyone you hire knows how to use them. Great video!

Thanks for making these videos. Compared to you competition, your belt buckles really hold up to scratching and wear and tear. An episode on this would be enlightening. Thanks.

Love this. I have been customer since right after your belts finished up on Kickstarter and I stand behind every single item I have from you all. I’ve always said that a visit was necessary if I am ever in the area, and this is the next best thing! Keep on crushing it! ✌️

You have great innovative quality products and I love that they are made in the USA!! What is your most difficult supply issue? What do you think has contributed the most to your success? What is your most popular product?

Can’t wait to see behind the scenes.. It’s the only belt I wear.. Which my wife doesn’t necessarily like on those rare occasions when I have to wear a suit.. :)

It’s good that grip 6 want to include the customers and make it more of a brand you are proud to own. This is very good I live in the UK and love the quality and easy use of grip 6 products

Ryan Dobbs

Great idea, Grip6. We love your products and now look forward to the videos. Keep both coming.
