How can I change the durability of items using commands?
I have a Minecraft 1.8.1 vanilla server and would like to reward certain users. I would like to /give some users a 99999/99999 durability renamed Diamond Pickaxe (with all enchantments on it).
How do I use commands to change/repair the durability of items? If possible, using only one command and use /give.

Well, the easiest way is to do /give @p <item> 1 <lost durability> you may have to play around with this but in your way you can do:
/give @p diamond_pickaxe 1 11560
This command will say that the durability is -9999 however, this means that the pick will go up to 0 to break. which leaves 9999 uses!
