Look for a tantalum with a small hole in it.
Our work benches vary quite a lot, and things found useful by some may not even be at others places:
I have a relaltively common magnifying goose-neck lamp. The tubular fluorescent lamp surround a magnifying lens of about 3-1/3 or 4 inches diameter. This thing is very useful for some work, such as finding a tantalum cap with a hole in one end.
Other folks use magnifying ¡°goggles¡± - I suspect these are more useful than the lamp with magnifier for some things.
