    Is your question in regards to surface mount components or through-hole technology?

    Quoted from jeff_286:

    My finesse is lacking when it comes to transistors in tight spots where gobs just won't do.

    Use a chisel tip with the width of the tip the same as the pad, or slightly smaller if needed. Use a fine solder like .031. Use a magnifier.
