> hole covered by finger to control vacuum

Usually a fourth finger (pinky or ring finger) is used to do this, three
fingers are required to hold the part. A footswitch will also work. I use
very sharp claw tweezers for all the parts but I do not do 'production'.

Imho vacuum sucks for p&p manual work ;-).
