Put away that checkbook!
Look around, and see how others there operate. I'd keep any meters, etc., at home, unless told to bring them in.
There are three reasons I say this: 1) Folks there aren't stupid; 2) Many such tools are company provided; and, 3) There may be ISO 9000 / calibration issues.
"Basic tools?" That's a laugh. Many 'standard' electrician tools you will never use (like, probably, a pipe bender) while other strange tools will see routine use (like a pin wrench).
I'd also see what the place has in mind for the security of your tools.
If there are any 'company' tools that you wish to personally own, I would make darn sure to get similar tools of a DIFFERENT make. It prevents misunderstandings later on.
