A pickaxe with a break chance per swing is either useless or immortal

A small chance of breaking sounds fair, but then some tools die on day one and others last for a whole season, and the label on the tool means little. This shows how to choose the chance from the promise you want to make.

Why this works

A chance per use hides what the player actually experiences, which is a count of uses with a wide spread. Starting from the promise you want to keep and working backwards to the chance makes the label on the tool honest.

When not to use it

Skip random breaking when losing the tool is painful or hard to replace, like a quest item or the only way to progress. There use a visible wear counter that the player can plan around.
