Is there something out there that would show what inch pounds would be in foot lbs. IE. 5in.lbs = how many foot pounds?? Just get an inch pound torque wrench I guess and make life easy.

I agree, get an inch pound tw....estimating inches on a pound wrench could be disaster...

12 Inch pounds = 1 foot pound
5 inch pounds would equal ~.4 foot pound

I think I would agree with both.

Torque wrenches aren't as accurate at the extremes of their range. You'll want an inch wrench for anything under 5'lbs or 60"lbs in my opinion.

ft-lbs = in.-lbs / 12

in-lbs. = ft-lbs x 12

But, when applying a torque in in-lbs, you would do best to use an in-lb torque wrench. 120 in-lbs is equal to 10 ft-lbs, which is just at the beginning of the ft-lbs torque wrench scale. At that point on the scale, there is significant error.
