He got the one below this

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

The voltage range is auto selecting as well

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.

<= This!

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.
 
When my cousin started out as an electrician, I got him a good set of insulated screwdrivers, and he still uses them.
