Why this conversion matters

Many torque wrenches, manuals and online discussions still use foot-pounds. Metric tools and service data often want newton meters. This page bridges them properly.

This page stays intentionally direct. The result should be quick enough to use in a real task without making the visitor dig for the actual answer.
