Who let you two retards loose?

Matt, We don't need your help converting Nm to Ft/Lbs. Are you pretending to be all wise or something, you stupid f***?

Kajtek1, The Polack wonder. You're so dumb, man. I don't know where to start or finish with you. BTW, do you know what "bling" means?

I figured it out after the posting Lugnut.
You must be proud owner of torque wrench with dual-scale. [sm=bustedsign.gif]

You must be the proud owner of a bull's "pennis" with two usable ends. That must make you and your wife very happy... at the same time.

BTW, only a Polack would use a conversion formula to manually convert Nm to Ft/Lbs and then use a torque wrench with dual scales on it. I know you own one too.

I think I do. Bought one years ago for $10.
My son used it for head-gasket replacement.
For me math is much easier. To get 450 ft. lbs on my coach wheels all I need is my weight and slightly more, than 2 feet of wrench handle to MULTIPLY it.
Unlike you guys I am not splitting my feet.

Q. How does a 200+ lbs Polack torque a bolt to 200 ft/lbs?

A. He fills his empty head with helium until he weighs 100 lbs, then he uses a two-foot wrench handle to MULTIPLY it.

... I am not splitting my feet.
What the heck does that mean? I've never heard that expression before. Must be secret Polack RV speak. Anyway, what good are unsplit feet doing you when your head has split wide open and your gray matter has spilled all over your feet?

ORIGINAL: Lugnut

convert Nm to Ft/Lbs .

Since you become my English teacher on this forum, explain it to me Lugnut.
Isn't dividing (the "/" mark) a form of splitting?

It's a ratio. Tell Stanley they don't know what they're talking about and you do. I'm sure they'll put a lot of weight to what you say when you tell them you're a Polack. It's also expressed as ft-lbs.

Anyway, I think you're splitting hairs.

Looks to me, that Stanley couldn't afford to hire Polish (or German) mechanics and hired local instead.
Maybe I am splitting the hair, but since this is technical forum, we suppose to have it clear, that we MULTIPLY the force by longer handle, not divide it.
