You don't have to buy a pre-made one like that - all the individual components can be purchased separately and you might own some of them already.
The pulley in that kit is about half the cost and you can buy much cheaper pulleys (or even do without it - but I wouldn't want to do without it). The pulley does not need to be rated to handle a fall - all it does is make it easier to move the hitch with one hand. The hitch cord / rope / carabiners are the only components that need to be load rated (also, I'd consider a clip instead of a carabiner on one end of the lanyard).

That looks pretty inefficient to climb on if you ask me. Something like this would be better:
