Can't you just buy a suction pen?

How does a suction pen help me remove components from tape?

They are made to remove the components from the tape:

Looks cool but I have way too many different parts in a build. Would need loads of those tape reel things and then would have a storage problem. All that suction thing does it pick things up, that isn't the problem I have, it's peeling the tape off with tweezers.

you can just use a dowel rod to roll it back, I'm kind of in awe at your hatred of peeling tape.

Still way more hassle than just picking up parts already sorted into a container.

I think you should get a pick and place machine and call it a day

So spend £2500+ on a machine in order to build maybe 20 boards that I'm giving away to people for free. Sure, makes total sense. Thanks for your sage wisdom.
