Hey guys.. I've been using a relatively cheap FISKARS digging knife for the past couple of months but yesterday in this Chicago park, I was digging with it and pried a bit too hard on the plug and 'SNAP'... thing broke off at the hilt.

Can anyone suggest a really durable digging tool? I prefer the hand tools so I can get leverage on the plug. Pictured below is one similar to the one I had.
I liked it because it was fairly heavy weight and I had the impression it was fairly durable, but I guess I need something a bit tougher.
Suggestions welcome.
