For $12 you can't go wrong. The tube is a bit thin so I don't think it would take kindly to being dropped but once again, it's $12. Buy two so if you break the tube on one you have a spare. On that note, if you read this Hoog, I think it would be a GREAT idea to sell the pieces of the tank individually. With my fists of ham, fingers of butter, and evil, thieving ninja cat running around, being able to buy a new tube or cap instead of a whole tank would be nice.
