Claim:
A system comprising: a removable electrical component; a fixed receptacle to receive the removable electrical component; and an insertion and extraction device coupled to the removable electrical component, wherein the insertion and extraction device includes, a rotatable driveshaft that interacts with the receptacle when rotated for insertion and extraction of the removable electrical component, a handle comprising a rod coupled to a grip component that is sized to fit over a proximate end of the driveshaft, wherein the handle is coupled to the driveshaft such that, as the driveshaft rotates about its centerline, the handle also rotates about the centerline of the driveshaft, and a slider mechanism that allows the handle to slide along a line substantially perpendicular to the centerline of the driveshaft, wherein the proximate end of the driveshaft forms a hole and the rod of the handle fits within the hole to form the slider mechanism.
