Certain aspects relate to a handle mechanism that permits control of linear motion of a shaft secured within the handle via two different interfaces for actuating the linear motion. In some aspects, a rotational interface can allow for fine control linear positioning of the shaft, for example by allowing a user to rotate the rotational interface to extend or retract the shaft. In some aspects, a plunging interface can enable a faster linear motion, for example by implementing a biasing mechanism that releases to drive rapid linear motion.
