Can I legally hold tools from a contractor who owes me money for supplies and labor?


Contractor owes me money for labor and for supplies I purchased on my credit card.

It depends on the laws of your particular state.

Check out the laws relating to "mechanic's liens".

I don't know about legally, but you f*ck with a man's tools, you are asking for a beat down.

I think there is a way you can do that. But, document everything and be very careful.

No, I don't think that you can. But, I'd sure check with my lawyer!

Similar things have been done before, so it probably depends on the laws of your state.

Safer, I would say, to contact the credit card company and report the contractor has been fraudulent with his services.

If the tools you are talking about are the ones you bought, then you can keep them obviously.

It is best to try to negotiate peacefully, because drawn out legal battles are not in your interest.

I hate this stuff. The law does not protect people, it only provides an expensive and drawn out process that protects the assholes of this world.
