For tuning SQL queries, there are several tools you can utilize:

1. Live Query Statistics: This tool displays real-time statistics about query execution steps, which can be very useful for debugging performance issues during query execution.
2. Monitor Resource Usage (Performance Monitor): This tool tracks resource usage, such as memory and CPU activity, which can help identify performance bottlenecks related to resource consumption.
3. Activity Monitor in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS): This provides an ad hoc view of current activity, showing processes, blocked processes, locks, and user activity, which can help identify long-running queries.
4. Query Hint Recommendation Tool: This tool automates the identification of optimal query hints to enhance SQL query performance. It evaluates a query with different hints and helps find the most effective ones to improve execution time.

These tools can assist you in identifying and tuning queries that take a long time to run.
