Newton-meters to pound-feet
Type a value in N·m to get it in lb·ft instantly.
That's 4× as much torque as a spark plug, while a car wheel nut is 1.1× more. On a 30 cm wrench, that is a pull of about 33.99 kg.

About these units
Newton-meters (N·m)
The newton-meter is the SI unit of torque: one newton pushing at one meter from the pivot. Car specifications worldwide quote it.
Pound-feet (lb·ft)
A pound-foot is one pound of force at one foot from the pivot, about 1.356 N·m. US wheel nuts are usually quoted in it.
