What does this tool do?
Torque is a turning force — force multiplied by the distance from the pivot. Car manuals and torque wrenches use newton-metres in most of the world and pound-feet in the US.
1 lb·ft is about 1.356 N·m, and 1 N·m is about 8.85 lb·in — useful when a small fastener spec is given in inch-pounds.
Why use it?
- Wrench and engine units.
- Inch-pounds for small fasteners.
- Exact factors.
