shovels get missused by professionals just like any other tool. the only thing i'd suggest putting money into is a hammer, mine is my fathers first hammer, which is now 30 years old and still in pretty good condition.
anything else we buy is pretty cheap. and tools seem to have a half life just like radioactive materials... as they get more and more worn the more and more you misuse them and the more damaged they get.
god i love how i take everything so serious

Well if you treat your tools well, they'll last longer. Case closed.
