Yeah, you'd think ESD-safe wouldn't be such a selling point for EE's.
Even ESD-safe soldering irons, IMO, at a total marketing gimmick. The first time you touch a non-grounded iron to a ground, any charge will be dissipated. If you are going to rework a populated board, all you have to do is touch the tip of the iron to a ground strap, first... and if you're concerned about ESD, you'll have a ground handy, right? (If your board isn't attached to a ground strap, then your grounded, ESD-safe iron is as much an ESD hazard as a non-grounded iron, anyway! Actually it's more of a danger, because the grounded tip is an infinite sink, vs a randomly charged tiny sink/source.)
I prefer an ungrounded iron, because when debugging/repairing, sometimes I am intentionally soldering on something that is still plugged in! (Maybe not to MAINS, but something plugged into a USB port, or the like.)
For tweezers for SMD, the buzz word you should be looking for is "non-magnetic."
