Manufacture and placement of SMT components is fully automated, only the P&P machine camera ever has to see them... Anyway 0805 is far larger than a full-stop, unlike the 01005!!They must have to employ young people to make these, nobody over the age of 30 will ever see these with the naked eye !
I've bought a new solder station which should keep the tip temperature within bounds, plus I've got some old 60/40 solder I'll use which only need about 180C to melt. A tiny tip, some Stannol 0.5mm solder and a magnifier and I should be good to go 🙂
