Repair Hammers are now "junk"
Probably not a bug. They were a temporary test. Anet will decide whether to put them back in, change them, or ditch them entirely based on feedback.
Today is the first day they have auto-sold with “Sell Junk” for me since they were introduced.
I bought 5 the day after they were introduced and they have been sitting in the same place in my inventory until today. “Sell Junk” is one of the first things I do when clearing down my bags.

Almost certainly a bug. During a test period, why would ANet want to require people to hide these in invisible bags to make sure they don’t end up selling them by accident.

Not a bug.
Thanks for the continued feedback everyone!
Repair Hammers will be disabled in the next release. You will be able to sell them to earn your money back if you have not used them by then. We will hold a poll after they are disabled to determine if they should be added back into the game, possibly with tweaks, as a permanent feature.

I do wish that they would remember to include updates in the update notes rather than post them in the middle of another thread.

Ah, well. I have to admit I was wrong.
Not surprising since this wasn’t mentioned in their patch notes (nor on the wiki’s player notes about the patch).
That’s gotta be the shortest test period we’ve seen yet. I routinely tick siege in our home borderland and would have used these to fix siege, had I actually seen any needing repair.

It was, late, but it was:

World vs. World:
- The repair hammer beta has ended.
- Repair hammers may no longer be purchased from the tricks and traps vendor.
- Repair hammers are now junk items that can be sold.
