Also it was a bit rusty, so I don't think he loved it that much. Hence I'm not that inclined to replace it with new, despite having broken it.
as he has not looked after the tool in question and gave it for you to use albeit in a very poor condition it can-not be your responsibility for replacement for when it broke,Maybe, but he binned it.

it could be argued that he gave you the tool whereby any reasonable minded man would foresee the likely breakage to occur due to the rust and poor condition of said tool and used you to get a replacement tool
furthermore as he binned it [destroying any evidence] and not tried to get it replaced under warranty relinquishes your responsibility for replacement plus he can-not have any claim for damages
