I must admit I really, really hate the consumable repair hammers and identifying glasses. I find it conceptually bothersome but with repair in particular it makes an already quite tedious game mechanic that bit more insufferable.
In the former case my inclination is now to not bother repairing stuff but to just carry spares around instead. Which I also dislike as I prefer to keep my equipment down to a low level, but I find it's the least worst solution in terms of overall annoyance.
