Deep Dive: Argos - Your Loyal Bench Driver

Deep Dive: Argos - Your Loyal Bench Driver

Vacuum pods, anchors, and fixtures keep materials steady—but every system still depends on the small tools that make the setup run. Meet Argos, the compact driver designed to stay where you need it most: right in the bench.

Born from the daily rhythm of tightening pods, swapping hardware, and clearing magnetic covers, Argos was built to remove one of the quietest inefficiencies in the shop—looking for the right tool.

Why Argos Exists

In every workspace there’s a moment between operations: a pod to tighten, a plug to lift, a bit to swap. Each time, the flow pauses while you hunt for the same driver or magnet. That friction adds up.

Argos was created to end that search. It combines the roles of magnetic pickup and precision driver into one compact, always-ready tool that docks directly into a 20 mm dog hole on the bench - and can even be used as standard bench stop when needed.

No clutter. No wasted motion. Just reach, click, and keep building.

Engineered Simplicity

Argos is carved from 6061-T6 aluminum, precision-machined for balance, and finished with a Type III hard-anodized coating that shrugs off shop wear. Every contour was modeled for control and longevity—robust enough for daily use, refined enough to belong on any professional bench.

Inside, dual neodymium magnets provide two critical functions:

  1. Magnetic Retrieval – lift magnetic dog-hole covers or small hardware cleanly.
  2. Bit Retention – hold a standard ¼ in driver bit with crisp, magnetic feedback.

That subtle “click” is intentional—a tactile confirmation that the tool is ready for work.

Built for the 20 mm System

Argos is purpose-built for 20 mm bench grids, the same standard that anchors the entire SYS-GRP ecosystem. Drop it into any dog hole and it stands upright, always within reach yet never in the way.

Unlike loose tools that roll, vanish, or clutter the workspace, Argos becomes part of the bench itself—a fixture as much as a tool.

Multi-Purpose Design

Function Description
Magnetic Tip Embedded magnets remove dog-hole covers, screws, and small metal parts.
Bit Driver Accepts standard ¼ in bits used throughout the SYS-GRP product line.
Bench Stop

Acts as a stable, low-profile stop when seated in a 20 mm dog hole, keeping materials from shifting during layout or assembly.

Dockable Form Stands upright in any 20 mm dog hole for immediate access.
Material + Finish CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard-anodized coating.
Tactile Feedback Magnetic retention provides smooth, repeatable “click” response.

Integration Across the System

Argos isn’t an accessory—it’s a connective tool that keeps the entire SYS-GRP ecosystem moving.

  • AnchorPod + BenchGrip – tighten or loosen fasteners during setup or maintenance.
  • AnchorPlug – lift magnetic covers effortlessly without breaking focus.
  • SYS-FIT + SYS-ORG – store Argos docked inside fitouts or Systainers for organized, at-hand access.

It’s the small motion that keeps the larger system efficient.

Designed for Real Work

Argos embodies the FORG3D mindset:

Every movement should save one more.

By keeping the essential driver and magnet always in reach, it removes the micro-delays that break focus. It’s durable, minimal, and deliberate—engineered to disappear into the workflow until the exact moment you need it.
