Donald, you are right. It#s good to tell this.

I'm doing this only for some SMT packages e.g. small diodes (SOD323), small transistors (SOT23) and some tantalum capacitors (yellow). All of these have tiny metal stripes as contacts. There is a distance between the place the stripe comes out of the plastic case and the solder joint. There the metal stripe could be bend with nearly no force. I would never try this for packages like SOD80 or TO252.
