Members johnv474 Posted February 29, 2020 Members Report Posted February 29, 2020 What is the difference between English and French? Mine is from Abbey England. It does not fold in the middle as some (Blanchard?) do. Ebay regularly has them, as does Etsy. Quote
Members Wykoni Posted February 29, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 29, 2020 French only uses leg tension, from your legs, where the English has bolts running through it to cause mechanical tension. Quote

The clamps on the French both bow outwards before turning in to make the jaws. like this ( ) On the English one clamp is a straight extension of the leg then turns for the jaw. The other clamp bows out then turns in for the jaw. like this I ) Quote
