My bats never seem to last a good length of time, with my latest bat the bottom corner of the toe has snapped off (see picture).
I net twice a week, and play on a wednesday night and a saturday afternoon, and occasional sundays. Is it worth getting a net bat to prolong the life of my bats?

yes - especially as people use dreadful balls in the nets.
pick up an MSR bat or similar at the same weight to your match bat and bob's your uncle.
-
Yes, you need (at bare minimum)
A match bat
An indoor net bat
An outdoor net bat
A wet weather bat
A dry weather bat
A throw down bat
A T20 bat
A catching practice bat
A spare bat
A midweek match bat
A Sunday friendly bat
And an emergency bat

haha if only I was that rich

Agree with you 100%, and unfortunately far too many inferior quality cricket balls are being used in matches too.
-
poor quality cricket balls aren't a problem in league games as it is a league rule that the league branded ball has to be used

The league I'm in is the same, sadly the club balls are all a bit like painted rocks so netting is a nightmare, club balls + sports direct bat breakers = unhappy batsmen (every year, without fail)
