From the website:

 

SSMS Tools PACK is an Add-In (Add-On) for Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
It contains a few upgrades to the IDE that I thought were missing from the Management Studio:

• Uppercase/Lowercase keywords.
• Run one script on multiple databases.
• Copy execution plan bitmaps to clipboard.
• Search Results in Grid Mode and Execution Plans.
• Generate Insert statements for a single table, the whole database or current resultsets in grids.
• Query Execution History (Soft Source Control).
• Text document Regions and Debug sections.
• Running custom scripts from Object explorer’s Context menu.
• CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) stored procedure generation.
• New query template.
