Frequently Asked Questions
What is the foot-pound equivalent of this wrench?
The 120 to 960 in-lbs range roughly translates to 10 to 80 ft-lbs (divide the inch-pound value by 12).
Is this suitable for tightening lug nuts?
No, wheel lug nuts require much higher torque (typically 80-150 ft-lbs) and should be tightened using a 1/2-inch drive heavy-duty torque wrench.
