Yes I brought this up to a dev once and they said they put it on the bug list because during projects you cannot tell when it is about to break, so you have to wait for it to break before you can fix it which can get frustrating. Hopefully that will get fixed!
We don't have plans to add a blue band on kitchen tools like we have on some of the other tools. They don't wear the same way as, for instance, picks and grinders do, and there is an element of randomness to when the kitchen items will break that the other tools do not have.
