My airlock bubbler cracked right in the middle of a sauerkraut ferment

It happened last Thursday night, and I found the little plastic piece split right down the side. I had to quickly rig up a balloon over the mouth of my 1-gallon jar as a temporary airlock. Has anyone else had a bubbler fail, and what's a good sturdy brand to replace it with?

He was so proud he almost hugged the saw, but then he knocked over his coffee.
