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.
Did yours come with a pair of extra levers too? if so, got a link to the one you ordered? I see two yellow ones on amazon at $15 and $16 respectively. And then the silver one that someone said came with extra levers. If I order anything getting a new handle with extra levers seems the way to go.
