Torque Unit Conversion Tips

1 lb-ft = 1.356 Nm = 0.138 kgf-m = 12 lb-in = 192 in-oz
1 Nm = 0.738 lb-ft = 0.102 kgf-m = 8.851 lb-in = 141.6 in-oz
American manufacturers typically use lb-ft, while European and Asian manufacturers use Nm.
Always check your vehicle's service manual for the recommended torque specifications.
Over-torquing can strip threads or break fasteners, while under-torquing can lead to fasteners working loose.
For precision work on smaller fasteners, lb-in or in-oz may be more appropriate units.
