Okay, to end a confusion spot. If you have 12 inch pounds and you want to
know how many foot pounds, you can divide by 12 or multiply by .08333, same
answer almost. easier to divide.
Larry Cottrell, you can get a lessor quality inch pounder for about thirty
bucks, certainly around fifty. if you stay in this business long, you will
need it cause just about every bolt on your engines use inch pounders for a
better torque value. If it calls for 120 inch pounds and you use ten foot
pounds, you will find it is not usually calibrated for that low on a foot
pounder. I would never use a pounder to put in spark plugs or small bolts
in engine cages. tisk tisk. my opinion is worth what you pay for it. Ted

good fly in because of the temps.
