At Valvoline, our technicians are required to supply their own tools. Is there any hindrance to this being a requirement for employment?

Technicians need to have their own set of tools rather than rely on what the company provides. The purchase of various tools is an investment in your career path, and the interviewer knows this. He must determine if you have your own tools so that you can arrive on your first day, ready to go. Share with the hiring manager whether you have started your own toolbox and how you are always looking to add to it.
