Help I'm way out of my league here. What is the conversion needed to convert 65 inch/pounds of torque to foot pounds? If I use a beam torque wrench with a 3/8" socket size do I have to use a 3/8" socket or if I use a 1/4" adapter does it change by a factor? I'm torquing down a set of $150 scope rings to my rifle and really don't want to rip the heads off the nuts trying to torque them down properly. I suppose I need to buy a $180 inch/pound wrench but was able to borrow a freshly calibrated one in ft/lbs. Thanks in advance. |

5 ft-lbs drive adapter size doesn't matter try mounting the torque wrench in the vise first and get a feel for the click-let off 1st time I did it I WAY overtorqued the bolts, since I didn't feel the click - it's very, very light at that low a pressure w/a standard wrench |
