You do not need a third hand, nor tweezers. The cap or resistor lifts up suspended between the two pencil tips.

And you don't stress the board the way you do with your twist method.

If you need something to *pull* the device off then you haven't fully heated the solder and/or glue yet and you shouldn't be applying any force any way.

You may be personally very skilled with the twist off method. Most people doing this for the first time are not going to have the necessary gentle touch, nor the experience to know how hard they can grip or twist. Two pencils is much easier for a beginner and much much less likely to get them into trouble.
