Too much stuff to remember. I know I've got one of those 'cleans anything' cleaning rod kits, oil and a can of Hoppe's Elite. I have something like six screwdrivers, from a 12 inch one to a SAK. Got a copper-headed hammer too Can't remember much else, but it's heavy.

Great company that stands behind their products. Good folks too. Different choices in multiple sizes.
I really like their bags & shooting accessories!

I use a pistol/rifle bag and a separate shotgun bag. In the pistol bag I carry eye and ear protection, an old gym sock to wipe down the gun after shooting, a leatherman multi tool, small bottle of oil, stapler and tape. There is still room for pistols and ammo after all that. The shotgun bag has a lot of the same stuff but add to it a tube of grease, different chokes, a can of ballistol, a bore snake and furry snap caps.
Wow! Lots of help
I want to thank everyone who has commented. I sorted through all the suggestions and made a tentative list. Today after sorting sheep I will have some time to dump everything out of my current bag , clean it up a bit and then re-pack with the new list in hand.

The usual stuff. Plus a first aid kit, couple of tourniquets, and blood clot.
I bet I have something in my range bag that you guys don't have......
Lipstick!! Seriously, use it on the front sights that aren't red ramp

Depends on indoor outdoor?
All the time:
I try to take a screwdriver
small rag
A collapsible picker upper thingy mainly for brass past the firing line....or any brass that presents itself.
I take extra ear plugs
Outside I take a hammer, Tape, Chronograph. And a broom, but not in my bag.

I have several range bags (8), The are usually caliber specific, 22 RF, 38 Special , etc. There are multi calibers bags also, 223 &308 or 45 ACP & 45Colt and the Cab & Ball bag.
I have a great deal of repetition, buying stuff I forgot provided a surplus, so each bag has everything for that caliber.
I have 2 different tool kits for the range, a 6 pound small kit for simple outings and a 50 pounder that can rebuild almost any failure I have ever encountered.

I don't know how heavy it is either, but.....
Especially if I go to the outdoor range (you have to shoot a lot of everything to make the trip worthwhile. The trip back is so much easier because I'm carrying about 25# less of lead.

Mine is obviously stocked for S&W rimfire revolvers - a 10" scrap of 1"x2" wood for tapping the ejector rod when my K22 or pre-34 is unknowingly used with ammo it can't eject without serious assistance.
Fingernail polish dries slower but lasts longer.
Mine has ammo, thumbtacks, UpLula, loaded magazines - empty on the way home, a multi tool, extra ear plugs. If I need anything other than the multitool to work on a gun (it has happened a few times) it just doesn't get shot any more that trip. There are others to choose from.
First aid kit resides in the vehicle which is only a few steps away while shooting at the club. I also keep a towel, wipes, bug spray, sunscreen, and an "emergency stash" of ammo in the vehicle in case I've forgotten to bring a caliber or have run out and still want to shoot a bit more.
The bag itself is a cheapie made by LA Police Gear. LA Police Gear Jumbo Bail Out Bag Low price, but decent quality.

I have 4 range bags.
The fourth is gun and caliber specific.
The rest, just useful stuff.
