Can tool payments for mechanics be entered for our W-2 jobs as a deduction?

I have end of year statements on payments made for non reimbursed tools required for my job.

I think you are asking if you can deduct business expenses if your income is reported on a W-2 form. If so, then no, you can't deduct those expenses on your tax return under the new tax law that took affect in 2018.
