If you hire one person as your contractor to perform all of the labor for a job, that person will usually provide his or her own tools and equipment. If a special tool or piece of equipment is needed, he or she will either buy it or more likely rent it for the job. You will pay for the rental as part of the contract price.
If you hire a general contractor for a construction job, that means the job will require multiple trades and the general will hire those trades as "subcontractors" for specific portions of the work (carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc.).
The general will usually require each subcontractor to have its own tools and equipment or if needed to rent them. And if the subcontractors themselves are companies, they generally will require their workers to have their own basic tools. Typically the only thing the general contractor will supply are ancillary items required for "general conditions" such as: portable toilets, safety Fencing, barricades, dumpsters, drinking water for laborers, etc. Even these items are generally hired out too through companies providing those items and services, and they too are considered subcontractors.
Added: If you are referring to "casual" day-labor, unless your employer specifies that you need certain tools, he will supply all that is necessary.
