Rocking those caps back and forth

Click to expand...

I used to cut smt capacitors with side cutters until I tried twisting. Now I am happy enough grabbing the top with some pliers and twisting while maintaining down-force, keeping the cap centred in it's plastic bottom. It seems to be faster than these videos of people pulling&wiggling, as well as faster than cutting too.I know a lot of people hate uniserver for suggesting this method but it really does work.
