  Those pencils are excellent, favoured by steel erectors too.

  Any trade will have multiple/burn through stuff like marking and measuring tools: tape measure, utility knife, steel rule, scribe etc. A jazzy/boutique/Japanese one of those?

  Does he have a toolbelt yet? Connells of Sheffield do very nice leather ones. Pricey for a set but you could just buy the actual belt to get them started.

  I've got an unused hammer swivel you're welcome to.

  Sure, but as they're riding from Birmingham, I'm sure one of these is worth a small detour: https://bathams.co.uk/pubs/

  Look out for any pubs selling Bathams: exceptionally good pale ale that's only available locally.

  The people who brew it are very particular: they check it's being poured right, if not they won't sell it to you, so you're guaranteed a good pint.
