A lot of house-brands of hand tools have lifetime warranties now. In fact, I think you can bring in and exchange your mattock at HF for a new one under their lifetime warranty.

I haven't tried this brand in that type of tool, but Home Depot has their Husky brand of hand tools, with a lifetime warranty and they seem to get very good reviews, such as this one.

True Temper, also sold at HD, also makes good yard tools. I think that's the prand of pick axe I have, which works well for digging, but I don't have that many rocks in my yard ... but do have lots of tree roots.

The Husky mattock breaks pretty easily, although they are very good about just handing you a new one perpetually. We landed up with the more expensive Fiskars, but we have a Husky around a backup mattock.
