What I usually do for Z is to slip a piece of paper between the cutter and the work, and when the paper gets stuck, I know that I am .003" (or whatever the thickness of the paper is) above the work. This would work better with a one-handed pendant.
A number of CNC makers had handheld pendants with an axis selector, a rate selector and and MPG on it. Many of them had a place on the main control panel where this could be hung, but you could take it up close to the spindle when touching off and similar operations. I certainly love mine, and would not have it any other way.
