Good point not to put static sensitive items on plastic. I leave
those in their anti-static envelopes until ready to install them on
the ckt board (always anti-static pad in use). My solder iron is
anti-static which is helpful, too.
I have anti static side cutters and long nose plus ground my jewler's
forceps just before picking up a sensitive device. The less handling
of those the better your odds of being successful installing them.
But saying that, I have accidently dropped them on the carpet and
they survived. I have removed sm devices and re-installed them
successfully (though odds get worse if you have to do
that). Normally, if I have a spare, I just toss the removed item
(most are not expensive).
