I have lifted a gpu but in the process i knocked off some caps. I want to put them back on but using a pick or tweezers is very hard to align it properly.

In this video he uses some sort of vacuum tool. The pick up tool i have is for bigger components than those tiny tiny caps.

Any ideas?

i have that, but it doesnt pick up really tiny caps. i use tweezers for now, but that tool seemed to work very well.

There are professional pick up tools that use a small vacuum pump which is not battery operated.
