Borrowing test equipment? If it is test equipment that is cost prohibitive for you to aquire or rent elsewhere then your employer shouldn't let you take it home and play with it unless you are working at home for your employer. Liability incase it gets damaged or stolen is one thing, the other is regular wear and tear.

Company policies vary.
Some are very lenient in one area and tighter in others.
Some have corporate juice bars and masseuses. And very nasty employment contracts.
Back in the 90's when internet access was starting to move out into the mainstream, our outfit set a policy explicitly allowing use of corporate email and web access for personal shopping and stuff during lunch and outside working hours. With the proviso: "don't do anything that would embarrass the bosses. Or else."
As near as I could tell only one guy out of thousands got into trouble and he was using his own hardware and dialup service.
