Have a pretty serious problem

Hi again,

Oh, and I forgot to mention just why an inch-pound torque wrench is so important -- 60 inch-pounds of torque is the same as 5 foot-pounds.

The problem with trying to measure 5 foot-pounds on a foot-pounds torque wrench is that it is too low a torque value on a 0 to 150 foot-pounds torque wrench, so you will get an inaccurate reading.

Better to use 60-inch-pounds, which reads higher on a 0 to 600 inch-pounds torque wrench, making it a more accurate reading.

:)

Get it?  :)

Best wishes,
