The differences between materials, equipment, and tools are in the way they are used, acquired, and maintained. Materials are consumed constantly, while tools and equipment require periodic repair or replacement.

Tools are objects to do the job, (hammers,saws, drills, etc ) materials are what you build with (wood, gyprock, steel etc) and supplies are the ancillary things you need, ( nails, screws, staples etc )

Can please tell you 10 difference between tools and equipment?

Equipment are especially MADE for purpose. Equipment can include helmets, kneepads and so forth, and is a more general term... Tools are objects to work WITH. Tools is American word. Equipment is a set of tools. Tools in a non-literal sense are devices to use to do something, for example, "LANGUAGE IS A TOOL TO PROMOTE SPEAKING..." lol Equipment is basically to "equip" somebody. You cannot equip someone with a spanner or a screwdriver. Tools are commonly used for machinery. Tools are generally small, hand held, common items. Equipment are profressional items.

What is difference between equipment and machinery?

Equipment - are machines or major tools necessary to complete a given task. The tools a mechanic needs to repair a machine are an example while Machine is A system or device for doing work, as an automobile or a jackhammer, together with its power source and auxiliary equipment. Machines are devices that need a person's attention when operating. Equipment are devices that do not need this attention. Examples: a refrigerator is equipment, a steel cutter is machine, a stove is equipment, a computer or a fax are machines; we call it anyway, "fax machine". Your car is machine/you operate it; your house, though, is "equipped with A/C and fan" because you do not pay attention to them when operating. The water heater is equipment. The pressure washer is machine, the air-compressor is equipment.
