Do you mean a tool?

This tool is bad. This hammer is good. I borrowed these tools from Larry. This axe was lent to me.

You should not say "equipment status" or "equipment state", if I understand your question correctly.

Hi,CJ,thank you for so quick reply.

If my device was lent.Can I say that the state or status of this device is that it isn't here.
Should I use 'state' or 'status' here?

Thank you again.
