First off, repair tools are borked. They are a black box, in that you need one to repair armor, but the "functionality" rating, the components used, etc don't seem to make any difference on the repair. (People say otherwise, but empirical proof is non-existant)
That said, the general guidelines are as follows:
Repair the item before the condition falls below 50%: Rumor says it improves the likely hood of a good repair.
An object that falls to condition 0/xxx is gone: Sorry, your armor is shot, buy a new set. Once you hit zero, no repair tool anywhere is going to bring it back.
No matter how good your repair, what skills you posess, the time day, current sunspot activity, or how hard you rub your lucky rabbits foot, there is always a chance of critical failure on a repair, that will totally destroy the damaged object. Yep, that chestplate that you paid big bucks for may go poof when you try to repair it, regardless of anything you do.
Even a successful repair will reduce the total condition of the armor: The repair process reduces the lifespan of the armor, that is to keep the economy functioning.
Hope that helps answer your question. I also hope these issues get cleared up in later patches. (I once had dreams of making my name in the galaxy selling quality repair tools...)
