Range Tool
I am realizing that I need some basic tools when I go to the range. Tool should be able to :
Adjust pistol sights (generally small hex wrench like 1.2mm and 2.0mm etc..)
Adjust Front Sight on AR
Basic screwdriver functions
Adjust scope
What else do you use or need it for?
I have room in my bag so I don't need micro mini tools. Just good overall device to do basic chores at the range and keep me running.
I've seen these:

I'm impartial but looking for advice as my heart is not set on anything. Thoughts?Gunowner99 - NRA Benefactor Life Member

Re: Range Tool
Range tool, isn't it that guy no matter what you are shooting his is cooler, better, cheaper, more expensive, blacker, premium than yours?
It's rare I need more than my leatherman at the range. If there is something new like a scope mount or site it I just bring what I need that day.Owner Trigger Time LLc 01 FFL/NFA Saylorsburg, PA. Sales/Service/Transfers/Training

Re: Range Tool
You need the "Handi-Racker".
According to the marketing materials, it's more fun, less work, high density, tough as nails, and only $29.99 +S&H.
And it's like "power steering" for your gun...(what are those marketing guys going to think up next?)

HandiRacker.jpg
Grimes, IA – Handi-Racker is one effortless way to rack the slide on most any semi-auto pistol.
Yes, most of us can rack a slide with our hands. But for those with arthritis, weak or small hands, or who may be disabled (even missing an appendage), slide operation can be difficult or impossible! Handi-Racker makes these problems disappear.
Simply place the Handi-Racker atop the slide and place the front of the Handi-Racker against any firm surface and push the pistol forward and the slide is effortlessly functioned.
The Handi-Racker also makes it effortless to clear a hard-stuck jam, and when disassembling or reassembling, Handi-Racker makes it easy to hold the slide rearward while removing or replacing pins and/or levers. And of course, it makes it easier to lock a slide back on a heavy spring pistol.
CNC machined from an extruded block of high-density, tough-as-nails pistol finish-protecting polyethylene, the patented Handi-Racker is designed for many years of hard use. Handi-Racker comes in two sizes that fit 90 percent of the most popular semi-automatics currently manufactured. Pick the one you need at www.handiracker.com. (Note: The popular Beretta 92 series requires a separate model due to its exposed barrel construction.)
Handi-Racker CEO Chris McAnich says, “Look at it this way – you probably have power steering in your car, so think of the Handi-Racker as power steering for pistols; less work, more fun.”
Specifications:
•Material: High-density polyethylene
•Functions: Loading, locking slide to the rear, clearing jams, disassembly/reassembly.
•MSRP: $29.99- bamboomaster

Re: Range Tool
Only time I messed with my Ar front site was to get my 1000 yard elevation set. I'd have to check my dope book but I think it was 4 full turns down and still came up 32 on the rear with half min sights.
