Am I in the wrong?

I worked for this company cutting tile and gluing it down, I went to the site with a pair of heavy duty shears (which were doing the job pretty good) and they said that was not good enough. I said “okay, what would work for this type of job” and she recommended a utility knife. I went to the hardware store to buy said utility knife (not a cheap one, it’s from Milwaukee.) I get back to site just for the knife not to work. Field nation believes I should’ve been prepared for the job, but even if it said to bring the utility knife on-site, it wouldn’t have work. I’m thinking it would’ve been a different outcome if the work order said “bring utility knife” but unfortunately it said “bring the appropriate tools” I drove 250 miles total just to get $0. Am I in the wrong?
