A surgical tool includes a drive housing having a shaft extending distally therefrom, first and second drive members extending distally from the drive housing along the shaft, and first and second translating gears rotationally fixed to the shaft within the drive housing and operatively coupled to the first and second drive members, respectively. First and second drive gears are rotatably mounted within the drive housing to act on the first and second translating gears, respectively. Rotating the first and second drive gears in opposite angular directions causes the first and second translating gears to move axially along the shaft in opposing directions and thereby move the first and second drive members. Rotating the first and second drive gears in a same angular direction causes the first and second translating gears to rotate the shaft about a longitudinal axis.
