Building with it

A repeater takes a weakening signal and sends it on at full strength, which is what lets a redstone line cross a base rather than dying after fifteen blocks. The right click delay setting is what most clocks and most door timings are actually built from.

In practice

A repeater only accepts input from behind and only sends it forward, which makes it a one way valve as much as an amplifier. Feeding one into the side of another does nothing, and that single rule is behind most wiring that mysteriously refuses to work.
