Must-Have Firearms Toolkit: Be Prepared for Anything on the Range!

[@lynngabehart9172]

Great, for 40 years I have carried a Range Tool Kit. People flock to me with all their troubles. Should have charge a rental fee. Its amazing how many people cant fix a problem. Lynn From the Ben Lomond range, Ramah, CO

Thanks for sharing, looks like a solid kit. I tend to keep the repair kit pretty slim, just a mini bit set (mostly hex bits) and T-driver, needle nose pliers, pick, assorted screws uts for optics and keymod\mlok stuff, coin cell flashlight, nickel, zip-ties, cleaning rod, lube, batteries and Loctite. Oh, and some batteries. All fits in an old mag pouch.

Things to consider adding: (1) A plain old flat head screwdriver. (This is my most used tool, so I like to have a comfortable one.) (2) A 6" C-clamp. Combined with a table, this can work in lieu of a bench vise. (3) Glock front sight tool. (4) Glock rear sight drifter. This is big and heavy, but I seem to use it a lot (usually on other people's guns). (5) A strap style oil filter wrench (small). This removes stuck-on suppressors. (6) A broad assortment of loose hex wrenches. (7) Dental picks. (8) A Tyvek ground cloth (maybe 3'x3') to work on. It allows you to set down parts and then be able to find them. (9) A magnetic parts tray. (10) An adjustable wrench (8-10") You likely won't want to add all of those, but they're worth thinking about. Some stuff is worth adding to the truck, even if they're not worth adding to the range bag.
