It depends on the laws of your particular state.
Check out the laws relating to "mechanic's liens".

If the equipment were left on the organization's property then he's entitled to carry them less than a "lien". the actually fee doesn't remember. ‘A lien is a suitable of someone to preserve possession of the owner’s property till the owner will pay what he owes to the man in possession’. a particular lien is a lien over property that could want to correctly be retained in uncomplicated words till price of a particular debt due in understand of it truly is paid. The courts favour certain liens as being equitable between debtor and creditor. After a functional time for the debt to paid has handed, and with due be conscious, the equipment might want to be offered to get better the quantity of the debt yet any surplus funds from the sale might want to be back to the "former proprietor". it isn't permissible for the creditor to invade the debtor's premises to take the equipment (that is robbery); yet he can practice for a court order and then bailiffs will be despatched round to take property of suited fee.

Similar things have been done before, so it probably depends on the laws of your state.
Safer, I would say, to contact the credit card company and report the contractor has been fraudulent with his services.

If the tools you are talking about are the ones you bought, then you can keep them obviously.
It is best to try to negotiate peacefully, because drawn out legal battles are not in your interest.
I hate this stuff. The law does not protect people, it only provides an expensive and drawn out process that protects the assholes of this world.

I think there is a way you can do that. But, document everything and be very careful.

No, I don't think that you can. But, I'd sure check with my lawyer!
