Trowels absolutely don't have to cost that much, they're purely for the aspirational. Trowels don't break, I've had a set of stainless ones by fuck knows who for as long as I can remember.
Garden forks on the other hand.... I would give my daughters hand in marriage to anyone who could design one that didn't bend or snap if you asked it to do a day's work.

I have broken several of the type with a pronounced S bend in the neck, including the Kent and Stowe one linked above
Undoubtedly user error (and awful stony clay), but I now steer clear of that type
This DeWit one is not as expensive as the badass one and hasn't broken on me yet
- the neck is much more robust
- the neck is much more robust

The local farmers union doesn't sell any unbreakable stuff?
I'd imagine the farmers would riot and dump manure if they sell bad quality there :)
I bent a trowel and broke the handle of one, but since those were £5 BnQ specials and nr3 still lives...cannot complain.

Not looking to Marry, but have you tried Bulldog for the Garden Fork?

Fucking hell. I had no idea trowels cost so much.
My two have been passed along (a Japanese one I mended from my granny, a mini steel one from my mum). I'll look after them better!
