I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else so if it has, forgive me ...

I was doing my daily task of hitting all my rocks and got to the end of a resource rock when there was a deep rumble in the right Joy Con for a second or two. Exactly 10 uses later, my shovel exploded !! Is this a new indication that your shovel is about to break? I haven't noticed it with any other tool ...
 
I had that happen to me once. I tend to customize my shovels pretty often so they never break, so I can't tell for sure if it was close or not. Fwiw I did have a shovel break on me the other day when I got distracted, but it never rumbled like that. I just chalked it up to the joycons being poorly made and acting up randomly. Interesting that yours did the same thing mine did, wonder if that means it's a common issue.
 
Huh that's not something I've noticed, but I use a pro controller so that could be a possible difference.
