Vent: I wasted $400 on a 'professional' dig kit that fell apart in the field | Archaeology Discoveries

Bought a full field kit from a company called TerraPro before a dig in New Mexico last fall. The main trowel handle snapped on the second day, and the screen mesh tore on some basic caliche soil. It was all cheap materials dressed up to look good online. Has anyone found a brand that actually holds up to real work?
