Anyone wanting to scavenge surface mount parts (especially
resistors and capacitors) might want to look into the Tenma
brand tweezers. I purchased mine from MCM Electronics
(www.mcmelectronics.com) and they have worked out fine for me.
They are not very sturdy but should be OK for occasional use.
You have to buy the different tips separately.

MCM part #21-8230, normally around $30.00 but sometimes
on sale for about half that.

They also have some really pricey models ~$200.00 if you've
got a money tree growing out back.
