What is your guys's favorite range tool? For example I used to carry a Husky multi-tool and a Benchmade Model 51 to the range for everything from clearing jams to adjusting scopes. A guy I work with told me about a multi-tool that was made specifically for firearms but I can't remember what it was called.

I have a medium sized tackle box I've modified to a range bag, it's easy to carry, & holds anything I've ever needed, contains basic hand tools, cleaning tools & supplies, & a wide assortment of screws, springs, & etc. that I might need, as well as a bore light, some spray lubes & etc. ( sorry no specific range tool, just the box that holds them all... in that situation, I prefer the correct tool, rather than something that tries to be everything )
my actual favorite range "tool" ( sorry again, as I know it's not what you were after ) is my 4 seater Kawi Mule... makes going out to the 200-300 yard targets easy for me & up to 3 of my shooting buddies... it's had alot of work done to it, & I trim branches from the aluminum diamond plate roof, to keep my range branch free...
I do have a nice damaskus hand crafted Screwknife, that my wife bought for me... they are the "tool" to have for CAS

My favorite range tool is a spotting scope on a tripod. Makes sighting in and general target practice a little easier to see exactly where you are hitting.
My favorite tool tool is a Craftsman multi bit screw driver set. Perfect for virtually all range needs.

Spotting scope on an old camera tripod I used to use as a professional photog. Scope is a 45 year old Redfield and as good and reliable as day one. Tripod was purchased in 1963, still going strong.
Well since it's a question on favorite tool, I would have to say my old Gerber multi tool (Leatherman style but I like it better then the Leatherman).
I usually bring my M-Pro7 cleaning kit with me in case of a stuck case or needed oil.
I would love to get a spotting scope, but the range I go to rents them for $2. So, I can't justify spending $60 for a crummy one, much less $$$$$$ for a good one. Their old beat up rentals work good enough for my skill level. Hopefully one of these days I will be able to improve my skills to where a good spotting scope is needed...

Thumb buster...
In the early 1990s while still a "lower enlisted",
, I got a mail order magazine loader that aided me & prevented many "sore thumbs" over the years.
Mag loaders are more common now in 2012. Some top firms like Beretta & Springfield Armory include them with new semi-auto pistols.

Big ups goes to the "Go-Jo" & "Fast Orange" cleaning products that remove the gunk/grit/lead/etc. I've taken it to a few ranges and it's always in the restroom of the security school where I do my yearly re-quals.

As a pistol shooter, these days a walking cane length 'Pecan Picker-Up-Er', Turbine Industries, Wichita Falls, TX 940.766.4253 makes my shooting less of a chore and more enjoyable.
Other goodies like spotting scope, squib rod, plugs, and overlays have been in my gun box for years.
The gadget from Turbine Industries is a new, and welcome accessory.
