Generically it's just referred to as a ratchet or ratcheting screwdriver.

Brand and quality.

Snap-On is well known for both quality and high cost. They have a life-time warranty. #1 recommended Mechanics tools above Craftsman and Stanley.

Snap-on tools are targeted toward people who make money using tools and need something super reliable that's got a long service life. For the home user they're absolutely overkill and unnecessary.

They're also expensive because of the service. Most people that own them work in shops, and a Snap On truck will show up periodically. You just hand them what's worn out and they replace it. 

 

The quality is good, but it's not amaaaaazing. There are better brands out there. The service is unmatched (for the most part).

As others have said, Snap-on is widely considered to be overpriced, even by the people that use them.

If you have a Lowe's nearby I would suggest this as an alternative. It also has a lifetime warranty.
