Since then I have only broken one lever, but I think the key is to work the lever back and forth instead of one forceful motion to lock it down.

I ordered that yellow cup last week and threw it in the boat so if another breaks I can switch to those.
Okay, cool. that's exactly the type of feedback I was looking for. For the yellow one, are you planning on just swapping the levers to your existing handle, or are you planning on disassembling your gate and swapping in the whole new handle?
