If a contractor signs an agreement to repair something does not complete job yet accepts additional money for special order materials and does not deliver the material is this a crime of any kind?

Possibly. If the contract was signed with no intention of performing the work, or if he/she does not order the materials as agreed, it could be criminal fraud or larceny. However, this sort of thing is normally handled through civil lawsuits. Most often, the "victim" would simply prefer to get their money paid back than to see the contractor go to jail and then be unable to repay them.

Ownership of the tools is cloudy. Go to small claims court if you have paid them money and ask for repayment in terms of the tools. Be sure to call the contractor beforehand and see what is happening in his world. Communication can clear up a lot of assumptions.
