I used to do the basic technique of grabbing their tail and breaking their spine on the corner of something. Now I hold them by the tail set them on the floor, then I just tap them with my feeding tongs. This works great because you can tap light or hard, so you can either stun them for 5 seconds, 30 seconds, or you can finish them pretty easily if you need to. It also works quite well because you do not risk them getting a nose bleed as much.
