The thin nose pliers that are supplied in that package are just the right size for holding small SMT stuff, or use tweezers. Just don't solder the pliers to the work...

If you want to do better, get such cutters with a (good) spring to auto-open the handles. Also, opt for a more expensive but better cutter. Electronics work often requires great precision, so why cheat yourself of a couple of bucks?
