Recently, I added a Byrdrench and have found it to be really handy.

I have a "range bag" and a cleaning kit/tool box that I carry to the range. The range bag has a couple of small screwdrivers ammo, pistol ear protection and shooting glasses staple gun, staples, tape.

The cleaning kit/toolbox contains pretty much everything I have for cleaning and working on guns. All my cleaning stuff and basic tools including screwdrivers, allen wrenches, cleaning rods, patches, ak sight adjustment tool, broken shell case extractors etc. This stays in the car unless I have some type of malfuntion to address.

I am amazed that nobody carries a first aid kit.

This is the basic set. Some stuff is added depending on what I am shooting (ammo, mags, etc).
Gerber tool.
wooden dowels (for squib & case removal)
plastic mallet
2 sets of eyes and ears
screwdriver set
small pair of binoculars
Bug repellent
Sun screen
Electrolyte powder
FedEx tyvek envelope (for brass)
pen, markers, notebook
Loading tools
pill case with OTC pain killers.
And a small first aid kit.

He asked about tools, so I just listed the tools I have in there. If he wanted a complete list, I misunderstood.

No, you are correct. I do appreciate all of the input about the contents of everybody's range bag but I was most interested in what particular tools everyone thought were needed for 'everyday' range duty. I've got a bunch of tools but what are essential in my everyday (indoor range/pistol) bag?

Thanks again for all of the great input.
