Equipment swap? Quite the reverse! (5,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
tools of the trade
'quite the reverse' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'equipment swap?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'equipment' could be 'tools' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'tools' is found in the answer.
'swap?' could be 'trade' ('trade' can be a synonym of 'swap') and 'trade' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ofthe' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tools of the trade that I've seen is " worker's implements".)
