Hacker's equipment (3)
I believe the answer is:
axe
'hacker's equipment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for axe that I've seen before include "Tool for cutting, chopping" , "Means of cutting" , "Chopping tool with heavy blade" , "Abandon project or cut back on resources" , "flower in Devon" .)
