Most construction sites have toolsheds where workers check out what
they need. Many workers prefer to use their own tools, but they must
be approved by the site manager because if a worker-owned tool injures
someone the employer is still on the hook for it.
If you hire a construction company to do work on your home, you would
certainly expect the crew to show up with tools and not look to you to
provide them, but whether those tools belong to the company or the
individual members of the crew is between the company and the crew
members (a single individual working as a handyman or licensed
contractor is the equivalent of a company here). You are a customer,
not the employer.
