If you do this, be sure to mark the ratchet wrench as to WHICH SIDE FACES OUT, or you'll have a useless climber for a match or three.
The nice thing about the flex-head wrench is that we can constrain the head in-place to avoid that exact problem (though we probably ought to mark it anyway).

For those who are interested, this is the wrench in question:
