> a device is a singular countable mechanism (real or symbolic) which has a specific function. (an electronic device, the infrared device, a literary device) > equipment is non-countable and a general way to refer to a family of objects (some which may be devices, others just objects) that are used in a defined type of activity (sports equipment, diving equipment, filming equipment)

I used a home made device to open the safe... because the other equipment, we bought at the store, did not work.
