Ways to tell them apart:
- Equipment is usually treated as an uncountable noun, so it doesn't take a plural form.
- Equipments is generally incorrect and rarely used in standard English.
- Think of equipment as a collective term that already includes all necessary items, so you don't need to pluralize it.
- Whenever in doubt, stick with equipment since it's the correct and widely accepted form.
- If referring to different types or kinds, use pieces of equipment or types of equipment instead.
