If you file chapter 7 bankruptcy can they take the equipment you use for work?

It depends on the exemptions. If you have to use your state exemptions, you will have to ask a local bankruptcy lawyer.
If you can use the federal exemptions, you are able to exempt up to $2,025 in work-related property. You may also apply other exemptions, such as the motor vehicle exemption, the wildcard exemption and half of the unused portion of the homestead exemption.

What is the means test to file bankruptcy?
One of the first steps you must take when filing for bankruptcy is to complete a "means" test. You must submit the results of this means test to the Bankruptcy Court. The means test checks your income in order to determine your eligibility to file for bankruptcy. If your income is below the average for your state, then you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy without any problems. However, if your income is above the state average, the calculations for the means test become more complex. The means test looks at your disposable income (the amount left over after paying your expenses). If your disposable income is too high, the Bankruptcy court may decide that you can pay off at least some of your debts, and prevent you from filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You are still able to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, however.
