in-lbs to ft-lbs? If something is supposed to be torqued down in "in-lbs" and all I have is a "ft-lbs" torque wrench, is there a way to convert in-lbs to ft-lbs?
since their are 12 inches in a foot, 12 in-lbs should equal 1 ft-lb
Most ft-lb torque wrenches aren't going to be incredibly accurate at the low end of the scale. You may still want to invest in an in-lb torque wrench.
