UK Gift ideas for my boyfriend

[Lost Girlfriend]

Hi All,

My boyfriend is about to start training soon and I'd really like to get him a gift to show how proud I am of him. I'd like the gift to be useful and something he can use throughout his future career. However, I am totally clueless with this kinda thing and the more I look the more lost I am.
So I thought I'd come ask directly from people in the know.
What would you recommend? What is a must have for an electrician?
Thanks in advance.
Lost Girlfriend.

I bought my son (who is also an electrician) a Fluke handheld meter

He got the one below this

T6-1000 PRO Electrical Tester

Simultaneous voltage and current display–save time by seeing voltage and current measurements at the same time when trouble shooting motors, pumps or other equipment.

I like this Fluke meter as it does AC and DC as well as current

The voltage range is auto selecting as well

There was a T shirt that had various explanation across the back and the cost, but can't seem to find it now, anyone?

Very amusing thread, this! 2 prong voltage tester and proving unit...invaluable. Keep your man safe at all times. The most important thing is to be able to prove a circuit is dead, thus keeping him alive.

That is why I like a simple voltage tester: it has one key job to do which is to show voltage present, and you don't want any confusion over that.

I have a handful of fancy multi-meters and a MFT as well, but the simple tester is the first thing to try.
