I tend to use the everlasting Screwfix ones, if you break one within 3 years they replace it, ad infinitum.
I have you down as a prime suspect for wanton woodland wankery. You say you have retired, but I know you have been working nearby, allegedly on glittering things. However, I think you have been needing your chainsaw fix, it's like opioids. Deny this!

I’ve so far failed to break the Roughneck mattock I’ve had for about 5yrs. By contrast I’ve bent/broken 2x Verve(b&q) ones in a single job.
Sharpen at a bit of a blunt angle- much better to send chunks flying off instead of making it like a knife edge and continually get it stuck.
The axe side of the head on the roughneck is an acceptable log splitting maul as well.
