1. A handle assembly comprising:
an elongate body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a central longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end;
a through-passage extending along the central longitudinal axis between the proximal end and the distal end wherein the proximal end and the distal end of the body are open such that the through-passage extends the length of the entire assembly;
a side passage extending through the body transverse to the longitudinal axis, the side passage having a side passage longitudinal axis extending orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the side passage intersecting the through-passage, the side passage extending along either side of the through-passage, and the side passage longitudinal axis being offset from and not intersecting the central longitudinal axis; and
a locking mechanism located in the side passage and configured to releasably retain a medical tool onto the assembly.
