It is slightly more expensive, but a coupon can easily make the prices the same. The HF ratchet looks has higher quality and dual drive makes it very convenient. It doesn't lock, but I rarely find locking useful. The HF takes a lot of abuse though. Seems tougher than this one.
Much like everywhere else, size your tools to the job. If you break a 1/4 ratchet or socket, chances are it was either poor quality or being used for something that a 3/8 should be substituted for.
I just used 1/4 stuff (ratchet, sockets, torque wrench) for a spark plug change. Forces large enough to have broken the wrench or sockets would have destroyed the fasteners or plugs on that job long before that happened anyway.
