Ha! The one thing electricians don't know how to use.
As for a gift, he probably has all the tools he needs, maybe as mentioned a decent pocketknife?

A new sparky? A shock absorber might come in handy.

Another quality gift is a Home Depot or KMS gift card to buy some more tools.

You know, something an electrician would use...

Maybe one of those practical joke ring buzzers. Length of cable in one hand, hand-shake with the other. Or high five.

If getting a Pocket Knife, get one that has a couple screwdriver bits. I carry one similar to this one and couldn't do without.

A decent Fluke meter is a good idea. If he's already hooked up with one....a good amp meter would be a nice addition 👍
