For years I've been removing resistor chips (often 1206) with one or two soldering pens. I just do experimentation. I estimate I do about 100 R and C chip changes per year. (I take too much interest in projects I don't know how to do. :P)
So I'm considering getting hot tweezers but not sure what to get. I spotted this on Ebay for around $60. Ebay item: 110741948225
What are you guys using for removing two terminal SMT parts? And does it get into tight spaces?
