Unhappy Door Handle Breaking

I have repeatedly replaced both my drives side and passanger side door handles. They keep breaking at the tab that connects to the latch rod. Are there any beefy-er handles that I can buy? Any other suggestions?

how do you open your doors do you put your thumb on the crease of the handle and only pull on the handle or do you just use your 4 fingers. there has always been a technique of how to open the foxbody doors
