There is one single 12 inch FOOT in the measurement. How many "FOOTS" in 12 inches?

"Pound feet" was made up by grammar nazis who think they understand grammar, but, apparently, have no knowledge of physical science.

That more than likely would depend on which side of tracks "you stay on" ..

I always liked a dial type torque wrench so you could actually see the bolt stretch on rod bolts. I have had a bad set of rod bolts, and if not for a dial type, I never would have caught the bad set... but when the dial stays the same and doesn't increase, you have problems.

It “identifies” as a foot pound wrench it was born a pound foot wrench but transitioned.

All My Snapon Break away Torque Wrenches have two scales Metric NM (Newton meters) And American Standard Lb Ft (Pound Feet).

The Urban dictionary describes "pound inches" as ....

A good friend of ours, said .. everybody knows it's ft/lbs.

BTW, he told me ... that the dry-rub seasoning was a stock shelf item from piggly-wiggley ..

If we can get the girls to take us out this weekend .. we will discuss further

LOL!!! In the mid 80's I bought a brand new set of Matco boxes, and still have them today. The only Matco tools I have are a few screw drivers and pry bars. When Matco tool guy went bust, I had no choice. So Snapon and Mac filled my box. And don't think I don't have any Craftsman or others... I have Williams and several other industrial tools that are just as durable as Snapon.

Bud, I have one of those too. What is cool is you can send them off and have them calibrated. And the digital will do inch pounds, foot pounds, and newton meters at a push of a button.

Paul: First I fixed it for ya. Second YES I sent mine off after over 30 years to be Calibrated. They came Back and were only off by 1 Pb Ft. Yje trick is to take them back to zero after ever use.
