A business owner argues that making employees buy their own tools is foolish. Companies that supply quality equipment show respect, get better work, keep staff longer, and build a reputation for excellence. Worrying about theft just means you're running a bad operation.

Whoever had the idea of making employees buy their own tools is a complete idiot. And if you're worried about them stealing from you, you probably have a crappy business. That's why we tell all our subcontractors that we work with that get their staff the best tools, the best equipment. They're going to feel more valued. They're going to be able to do better work. You're going to retain better people, and your company's going to get a reputation for much, much better work.
