Best present for an elecricians birthday!

[samantha]

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this, its my partners birthday next month and I wanted to buy him something he will actually appreciate,instead of the usual crap I end up getting him!He is an electrician and his tools are getting pretty worn now so I wanted to treat him to some really nice bits for the toolbox. Im looking for quality stuff, Ive just got him an Irazola 13pc screwdriver set (as recommended on here!) and still have about a hundred pounds left. Could you give me an idea of what other bits of kit an electrician really really needs,I dont mind paying for something thats going to last. As I am a lady with no skills in electricals I do not have a clue what makes something good or bad in your world!
Thanks guys in advance
Samantha

What sort of work does he do most? Domestic, commercial, industrial, design or testing or the whole lot? I use my rod set a lot and wish someone had got me one of those for a present, but if he mainly does domestic stuff it might not be as useful for him. Do you know if he has a clamp meter? Might be best to root through his stuff and see what looks knackered!

makita 202 drill set would be a nice addition to any set of tools....

A couple of bottles of champers and invite ur mate round - i know id love our lass to do that for my birthday

but as thats not likely to happen, maybe look at getting him a couple of warm snickers hoodies.

Samantha you're not Maria in disguise, are you?

If not, it seems that an inspection camera is one of those things that everyone wants but ends up never gets, so a decent one of them would be good.

If you are Maria in disguise, though, don't get me one because Matthew said he can get a good deal on a Snap On one for me.

Ta.
