This reminds me of an incident when I was working. At the park where I was assigned, several pulaskis with broken handles had been discarded in the trash. This made sense in a way because the labor costs to rehaft the heads was more expensive than simply ordering new ones from Gov't supply. But I lusted for a pulaski, unavailable from commercial sources at the time, so I retrieved one and fixed it up on my own time. Mission accomplished.....
