There are two simple ways to answer this question! Yes, or no. There really is no wrong answer, as most employers should be equipped with the tools that you need, should you not have your own.
If you do have your own tools: "Yes, I do have my own tools. I can certainly bring them with me to the job if you prefer that I provide my own tools."
If you do not have your own tools: "I have always worked with employers who have provided tools for me so I am not fully equipped on my own. I can certainly purchase more tools of my own if that is preferred."
