Post by layoutd »

my favorite quote about torque, not sure about the source:
"speed is how fast your going when you hit the wall. torque is how far the wall moves when you hit it"

Sorry for the duplicate of the same info -- for some reason I didn't see the first reponse when I submitted.

48 inch pounds. :mrgreen: Actually, I wouldn't think it would matter. Alot of wrenches probably aren't that accurate anyways. Or, it could snap off right at 62 ft-lb, if your luck is anything like mine. :roll:
