Torque Converter
Convert between newton-meters, pound-feet, pound-inches, and kilogram-force meters.
Torque specifications matter most when a wrench or torque driver needs to be set precisely — over-tightening a bolt can strip threads or crack a component, while under-tightening risks it working loose — and specs are often given in newton-meters in one manual and pound-feet or pound-inches in a tool's markings, requiring an accurate conversion before you touch a fastener.
This converter covers newton-meters, pound-feet, pound-inches, and kilogram-force meters with precise conversion factors, commonly needed for automotive work, bicycle maintenance, and any mechanical assembly with a specified torque value.

Frequently asked questions
Common mistakes to avoid
- Mixing up pound-feet and pound-inches, which differ by a factor of 12 — a significant over- or under-torque error.
- Using a rounded conversion for critical fasteners (like wheel lug nuts or engine components) where precision matters for safety.
