    I think the error might be misleading in this case. You don’t include AS when specifying table aliases, i.e.:

    SELECT E.EQUIPMENTID, E.EQUIPMENTDESCRIPTION
    From EQUIPMENT E
    left outer join EQUIPMENT_CHECKOUT EC
    on E.EQUIPMENTID = EC.EQUIPMENTID
    WHERE EC.EQUIPMENTID is null
    

    BTW: in Apex, you can try SQL statements in the SQL Commands window (in SQL Workshop) which usually gives better syntax error info.
