LaGard 3300 Experiance
Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2021 6:04 pm
Picked up a used LaGard 3300 off Ebay.
First impressions:
Dial ring is plastic so that seems a little chintzy.
Dial isn't quite true. (It has a slight low spot that rubbed on the ring slightly but a .004" shim took care of that)
The Lock itself gives less feedback on the left contact point than my S&G's or my Big Red so might slow down manipulation.
(I assume that is because the lever spring doesn't have as much force as the others)
It was used but in pretty good condition so I lubed the dial bushing with 20K diff oil and the wheel pack with Houdini.
Feels solid and has very similar drag when "picking up a wheel" compared to the others.
I also picked up a used LaGard 3900 2M lock off Ebay but it is in Hong Kong so won't be here for awhile.
Will post some free spinning with it thoughts after I manipulate it a few times.
