Okay, this is a very simple suggestion, so I'll make it short and sweet:
Reinforced Sticks would be created with two Iron Ingots crafted in place of planks. 8 Reinforced Sticks would be created for every two ingots, because 4 seemed like too little. When used instead of Sticks in the creation of a tool, Reinforced Sticks would increase tool durability by 25%, and provide an equal amount of normal sticks to the amount used in the making of the tool once that certain tool breaks.
I hope this makes sense, constructive criticism is appreciated.
