You'll find the more work you do to you're scoot, you really need both.

I've been out of school a long time, but as I recall 1 ft lb of torque is the amount of energy that will lift one pound 1 foot. ??

 

You're thinking in terms of horsepower. One horsepower is the amount of work it requires to lift 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute. Torque is a twisting or turning moment...if you need to go faster, you need more horsepower. If you don't have enough "grunt" to move the load or get it started, you need more torque.

 

Yep 12 inch = 1 foot. My Ace wrench has both scales.

 

a quick way to convert ftlbs to inch pounds and vice versa, take inch ount measurement and divide by 12 and that will give you foot pounds. Take foot pounds and multiply by 12 will give you inch pounds. example, 120 inch pounds is 10 foot pounds.

You're not old, you're an azhole lol. Merry Christmas

 

Not quite...photoshop for you

 

I believe that you're thinking of the power over time measurement which is horsepower. Torque isn't limited to time; it's more like stored energy - raw twisting power.

"Foot-pound abbr. ft-lb, unit of work or energy in the customary English gravitational system; it is the work done or energy expended by a force of 1 pound acting through a distance of 1 foot.

It is equal to 1.356 joules . The term foot-pound is also used to designate a unit of torque that is sometimes called the pound-foot to distinguish it from the energy unit. A force of 1 pound applied 1 foot from and perpendicular to the direction to an axis of rotation produces a 1 foot-pound (or pound-foot) torque at the axis."
