    Being one of the last US manufacturers of Titanium Solder Piks both
    the wooden handled and the Aluminum kind, I can tell you that you are
    right about Tungsten as it seems to last much longer than Titanium.
    It can be used at higher temperatures too for e,g Platinum. 

    Another choice for the Professionals are tools with Ceramic tips. 

    There are cross lock tweezers and probes available with Ceramic
    tips. 

    Like the Diamond Tip Drills you really need the working ends of the
    tools to be of Good Titanium, Tungsten or Ceramic. If you see most of
    the picks are either wood handle or Alluminum. The Ceramic cross lock
    tweezers are made with regular stainless steel body. 

    Then again it depends on the individual if you are going to use
    these all the time and also never loosing them they are worth paying
    more. 

    That why we have BMW's, KIA's and now Smart cars.
