Was working on the shed, and the Hammer head gave way. I found the store where I originally bough it and bought a new handle. Modified it to fit and put it on. Now the hammer can do its job again

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I love old pieces of metal that haven't really changed for centuries and still do their job perfectly. But regarding head/handle breakage you can't go wrong with Fiskars tools.
Their axes are famous (for that). They use some sort of special technique where the head and the handle are not quite one piece but still inseparable, indestructible. I'm guessing the same goes for their hammers.
Sorry for advertising, but everybody uses them around here, it's a no-brainer, and I live close to their origin.
I'm a sucker for traditional axes but that doesn't mean I can't still have a Fiskars.
Even on this older specimen you can see that they go beyond "traditional" axe heads:
Your Fiskars head has a lip that protects the usual breaking point. It evolves into this, which is still available today:
But you don't see this model much around here, almost everyone has a variation of this:
