Convert inch-pounds (in-lbs) to foot-pounds (ft-lbs) of torque — just divide by 12 — with a full equivalents table and a comparison chart.

10 ft-lbs
How it works
Because a foot is 12 inches, a foot-pound is exactly 12 inch-pounds. Converting is a simple divide-by-12 (or multiply by 12 the other way).
ft-lbs = in-lbs ÷ 12
in-lbs = ft-lbs × 12
in-lbs = ft-lbs × 12
Worked example
A torque of 120 in-lbs equals 120 ÷ 12 = 10 ft-lbs — handy when a spec is quoted in one unit but your wrench uses the other.
