About the units
Foot-pound (ft·lb)
A foot-pound (pound-foot) of torque is one pound-force at one foot from the pivot, about 1.356 N·m. US torque wrenches and engine specs use it.
Newton-meter (N·m)
A newton-meter is the SI unit of torque, one newton of force at one meter from the pivot. Torque specs outside the US use N·m.
