At the last few jobs I've had? Yeah. Cheap bastards made me buy my own fucking tools

Would that make you a contractor? You own the tools you use then you can go wherever else. If you aren't a contractor then refuse and go elsewhere.

Nah, it's not uncommon in the trades in the US to expect workers to bring their own tools. It's bullshit, but unfortunately we've normalized lots of bullshit here.
