I'm playing Feed The Beast Infinity Evolved, and am trying to use autonomous activators to place, and break ores using fortune III pick(s). I would like to detect when the pick is below a durability and pull it out of the activator to fix it, does anyone know of a way of doing this? I've tried AE Import busses and Fuzzy cards but there doesn't seem to be a way of setting it to pull items BELOW a durability out. I've also tried Extra Utilities Advanced Item Filters, and they don't seem to work either.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

To automate repair of picks there are many options.
Use an pick that won't be destroyed when it runs out of durability.
Items such as Tinker's picks and fluxed pickaxes do not get destroyed when they are used up. So if you have an filter set for pulling out only empty picks, you can recharge/repair them.
Set specific durability
Since item durability at most decreases by 1 per use (Assuming you are using a pick on ores), if you have something that pulls out faster than the speed your autonomous activator breaks (So the pipe will pull at least once before the item is used again), you can just set the pipe to pull out a specific durability.
Use AE custom fuzzy filter
According to this Chart, if you put a nearly broken pick into import bus config with a fuzzy card set to 25%, it will only pull out 10% damage picks.
