Owon do make acceptable kit but you'd be better buying something local with a warranty.
To be honest I'd buy him a good DMM and wait for the scope until :
A ) He needs it ; and
B ) He knows what his actual requirements are.
A good DMM is worth its weight in gold. I still have/use the Protek 506 I got when I started my apprenticeship back in the early 90's. It was an acceptable meter then, and it's still acceptable. I'd have loved a Fluke, but $$$ when you are earning $4/hr as a first year.
A good DMM is also going to be considerably smaller, quicker to use and more rugged than any meter/scope combo.
Just my 2c.
