"Good quality" and "cheap" don't usually go too well together, applies well to tools. Halfords stuff is generally good and convenient to get hold of.
As a general rule, there's nothing wrong with having plenty of cheaper tools to smash around and abuse. But stuff like ratchets, ratchet spanners, sockets and torque wrenches etc want to be decent quality. I use Snap-On ratchets and torque wrenches, but it's always good to have some old spanners/screwdrivers/bars and stuff to beat the shit out of if need be.
100% this. With ratchets, spend as much as you can. If you use a snap on ratchet, you will notice the difference big time but like Curt said, sometimes you need a screw driver or spanner to to smash to pieces and don't care if your break it.
