         C'mon, any excuse to buy a new tool is a good excuse!

         Gearwrench has some flex-style ratcheting wrenches that allow the 
handle to be at an angle to the head.  Here is the whole Gearwrench collection:

         There are fixed offset ratcheting wrenches like these:

         Sears, Northern Tool, etc sell similar items.

         Snap On has a similar item, this is one example:
