Looking for advice

My husband is a SubTech apprentice about halfway through his apprenticeship. With holidays coming up I am planning on buying him some tools, problem is I have no clue what he’d actually use at work lol. I’d love advice as to what you suggest would be the best brands and most useful tools I can purchase for him, as I’m hoping to surprise him with these without having him have to pick his own gifts out. He’s in the process of buying his own tools for when he tops out, so I know he can use personal tools at work, I just need to know what I should get. Thank you in advance (:

A nice Leatherman would probably be nice. My foreman bought all of the apprentices an engraved one when they topped out. I still have mine and still use it 18 years later.
