SMD soldering: tiny components stick to tweezer point
Pick it right the first time


When you un-peel your component tape, the little buggers fall randomly on your work surface. Or more likely, since Murphy's law applies, all resistors fall upside down. Solution is to use double sided adhesive to stick the component tape to something like a piece of cardboard. Then you can pick components from it with your tweezers directly.


Clean tweezers


Yeah, the flux sticks... I use a simple sponge, it works...


Use vacuum


I haven't tried this yet, but a vacuum pick and place tool is supposed to be amazing for this. Check on youtube for DIY inspiration.
