If you don't *have* to repair it; remaking from less stresed steel would probably be a good idea. I'd worry about the *other* end if you repaired the broken end as it's been stressed how many thousands of cycles too. Better to start all over.
OTOH we have all probably made repairs of necessity that then have gone on for years of service. I once made an exceedingly crude and ugly tool for a specific use telling myself I would replace it with a nicely made one when it broke---25 years later I am *still* waiting for it to break...
