I agree, a local blacksmith would weld it back together for not a lot of money.If it "broke" then it was clearly a 'knock-up' made from 2 parts poorly welded together.
Irrespective of that you're duty bound to either get it repaired or replaced.
Nothing p*sses one off more than when they lend a tool and get it returned broken without any concern for the loss
