The company I work for provides all the tools I need to do the job. In the power tool department it's all good because it's rather high end stuff so no complaints there. Manual tools on the other hand is a different story and besides a few items the rest are very worn out, tools that weren't that good to begin with. It can be frustrating sometimes.
Does it make sense to bring your own tools? On the upside it would make my job easier, on the downside I might break, lose or get them stolen. The wage stays the same either way. Not american, if that matters.
