I believe the "light use at home" he's referring to is stuff like taking the service panels off a washing machine, tightening the legs on a chair/table, etc....you know, things that aren't torqued down to 120 ft-lbs like rusted auto parts.
If the ratchet fails while you're snugging down a bolt on your dishwasher, that's just inconvenient. If the ratchet fails while you're reefing like hell on your little 1/4" 10mm socket on an alternator bracket, your delicate hand meat and knuckles are flying into something sharp, hard or both.
I know it's not a real repair job until you've drew blood and screamed out expletives, but there really is such a thing as "the right tool for the job."
I don't have any experience with this set at all, I was simply replying to you asking what light work was. Now you're claiming that this $10 set is somehow "as well made as the vast majority of ratchets on the market today" which seems hardly true given the amount of comments on how often the ratchet breaks.

The problem with HF tools is reliability. He apparently got a good one that didn't self destruct at the pivot, would the rest of us be so lucky at 200ft-lbs, 300 ft-lbs, 400 ft-lbs...?

If you can find a Sears near you (not likely), the standard policy on ratchet warranties is to do an immediate in-store rebuild for you. They're supposed to have a rebuild kit for each ratchet, and will take the 2 minutes it takes to swap in the new mechanism.
If they don't have the kit, they may offer to let you take a replacement from their rack of random used ratchet drives. Or they may offer to order the kit and then you'd need to make a follow-up trip to the store to pick up.
^^^ These are all based on seeing it happen for someone else while I was waiting in line at Sears.
Lowes will do warranty exchanges for you, but it will be with a new, China made ratchet. Only good if you are trading in an older China made ratchet.
A broken Craftsman USA ratchet is worth more than a brand new Craftsman China one.

If you don't think these premium brands are rip off ... compare the more expensive ratchets with grips and or breaker bars in price to the ones from Pittsburgh Pro.
