There are symbols to detach attachments, equip/unequip as well.

If you click the arrow, you can click at item view options (show item, rotation and an
option to see how it will look when the item is used.)
You can hover the mouse over the "value bar" to see the remaining % of the item,
which is especially interesting for limited items (see below).
11.2 Learning Bonus
Learning Bonus means you will get faster skills as long you have it.
There are 4 possibilities for learning bonus
Never
this is a weapon/tool that will never give you any skill increase bonus
Not yet
you don't have sufficient skills to use this item, and no learning bonus will be given
until you have them
Yes
this item gives learning bonus until it is maxed. For example the hit ability of weapons
is maxed at 10/10.
Not anymore
You have mastered this weapon/tool and can now use it with maximum efficiency
Most repairable will "Never" grant SIB.
Some exceptions exist though.
The trade terminal weapons have a learning bonus and can be repaired.
Mining equipment usually gives learning bonus if your skills are high enough.
But usually items with learning bonus are limited.
Don't overestimate the skill increase bonus though. The main use of SIB does not come from
more skills, but from the possibility to max the item, which allows you to use this at an
efficiency you couldn't have with a SIB "Never" item for a long time.
11.3 Limited items
Limited (L) items cannot be repaired once they are broken (this means, if they reach 3% of
their max possible tt value, you cannot use them anymore), so be sure you purchase a weapon
you are still able to use!
Those items usually offer a learning bonus if your skill levels are high enough, or a very high
efficiency because they are maxed.
The use of faster skill during the SIB=yes period is doubtful in my opinion, since you will use
a weapon/tool which isn't at its best efficiency yet, which means generally higher costs to use
them, especially for weapons:
Usually the price depends on how "repaired" they are, because more value means more uses.
