What's the difference between MagMount and MagDock?

They both use magnets and both work with Versa58 scales, but they go on different things and solve different problems.

MagMount plates attach to scales. When two scales each have a MagMount plate of opposite polarity, they snap together into a compact standalone tool - no Swiss Army Knife needed. One plate includes a loop for keychain, carabiner, or bag attachment. This is the "use Versa58 without the knife" option: a Pocket Flare paired with a Pen Scale on your keychain, a USB-C Flash Drive paired with a light in your bag, or whatever combination fits your day.

MagDock plates attach to the knife. Each MagDock plate has a built-in Interface Plate that mechanically connects to your Swiss Army Knife, just like a standard scale. Once a MagDock plate is on the knife, any scale with a MagMount plate of opposite polarity snaps on magnetically instead of mechanically - pop the Pocket Flare off to use as a work light, plug in the USB-C drive, then snap the scale back on when you're done.

Used together, the connection chain is: Swiss Army Knife → MagDock (mechanical) → MagMount on scale (magnetic) → Scale. You get magnetic quick-swap on the knife and standalone pairing off it.

Easy way to tell them apart: MagDock plates have a built-in Interface Plate on one side. MagMount plates do not. Both are laser-engraved with their name and a + or - polarity marking - a + plate connects to a - plate.
