Using Baggie Feeders.

Not really a tool but a method only for beekeepers that use baggie feeders.

Place the ZipLock bag inside a 2 lb coffee can or equal.  Fill the can by
pouring the syrup inside the ZipLock bag.   Zip the bag and remove it from
the can.  Place a queen excluder on the hive.  Place the filled baggie on
the excluder and cut the slits for bee access. 

The coffee can is a good consistent measure of volume and if you ever tried
filing a loose ZipLock baggie from a 5 gallon jug, from the tail gate of
your truck you will realize the real advantage of this method.  If you ever
needed to move a plastic bag full of liquid with holes in it, you will
realize the value of the queen excluder.

I am not the "relayer" not the creator of this method.
