This tool converts between inch-pounds (in-lb) and foot-pounds (ft-lb), the standard units you'll find on most torque wrenches. While industry standards prefer pound-inches (lb-in) and pound-feet (lb-ft) to distinguish torque from energy, we retain the familiar 'in-lb' and 'ft-lb' labels for ease of use. Note that a conversion chart is available further down the page.
