A coupling interface for a surgical tool includes a shank of an interchangeable tool accessory forming a proximal engaging portion including a receiving groove. A receiving coupler receives the shank and includes a first socket portion and a second socket portion. The socket portions form a receiving profile extending about a rotational engagement axis of a drive head. A locking collar is interposed between the socket portions and a release actuator is in connection with the locking collar. The release actuator includes ramp surface that radially varies about the engagement axis along a ramp angle. A rotation of the release actuator about the engagement axis angularly repositions the ramp surface and displaces the locking collar.
