I would use either threaded or pinned connections.

I’d go for a clamp system,on the lines of a quick release seen used for bike seats/wheels and kids folding scooters.Put two on shaft so tool head is secure in shaft.

if it’s going to last, I’d like something like is used on quick connects and air hoses…. draw back that one piece and fit the two together, then let go the slide piece and they’re good to go…. any connection must be triple strong, tho…. the stresses put on them in MY soil will bend steel!!…. the only trowel that ever held up here was a sold steel one piece jobbie!!…. consider that and look to making the connector up in the handle, not anywhere near the blade, fork, etc….

Threads wear out too easy I think i’d go with the pin connection like vacuum cleaners use. it is a spring loaded pin that can be depressed to slide of one head to change it to another. More than one of the pins can be used for more strength. Naturally the handle would have to be hollow, therefore metal.
