Employees don't pay for tools and usually have no say in which tools are bought. Car mechanics don't pay for spanners, their employers do.

The mechanics I’ve know all had to buy their own tools. That may be different if you’re at a specialist shop, like a place that only fixes specific parts expensive makes of cars. The guy at the local auto shop fixing whatever drives in that day almost certainly had to buy all of his.
I'm fairly sure that's not the case in most of Europe unless you are a one man company of course.
