How did you managed to snap a chain whip?? Its only purpose is to keep the cassette in place, you loosen the lockring with lockring tool (preferably with long leverage)…

Yeah that looks like a really cheap one. I upgraded to Pedro’s Vice Whip II. It’s a much more superior tool IMO. It works like Vice Grips, so you just clamp it on, and it stays on.
You don’t need something like this though. Just a higher quality chain whip will do. Stick to the known brands. I wouldn’t go lower than the cheaper brands like Super B though. Cheap unbranded Chinese stuff you’ll usually buy twice

Get a better chain whip to start.
Slip a pipe over the cassette tool. Or crescent wrench in your case it looks like

So I would say the sideways force broke it, not so much the tool failing. Chains only work in direct tension
