Electrical energy connection assembly and handheld electrosurgical tool

An electrical energy connection assembly, comprising:

• a user input assembly having at least one electrically nonconductive body;
• a first electrically conductive body constrained translationally to said at least one electrically nonconductive body and having a rotational degree of freedom with respect to said at least one electrically nonconductive body and about an axis of rotation of said at least one electrically nonconductive body, said rotational degree of freedom providing full rotational capabilities of said first electrically conductive body and said at least one electrically nonconductive body with respect to each other;
• at least one electrical connector carried by said first electrically conductive body and rotatable therewith about said rotational degree of freedom;
• and
• at least one second electrically conductive body;
• wherein, when said at least one electrical connector is connected to an external electrical energy source, electrical energy is conducted from said at least one electrical connector, to said first electrically conductive body, to said at least one second electrically conductive body, and to an output body located remote of said user input assembly.
