    Every other unit follows. Tap copy beside the one you need.

Tips

  • Wheel nuts

    Wheel nuts are often tightened to around 100 to 140 N·m, or 75 to 100 lbf·ft. Use your vehicle’s figure.

  • Small fasteners

    Small screws are specified in lbf·in: 12 lbf·in is 1 lbf·ft.

  • Read the wrench

    Many torque wrenches have two scales. Set the one your spec is written in.
