Do you know how many foot-pounds a newton meter is?

In metric and imperial units, torque is measured in Newton meters (Nm) and foot pounds (ft/lbs). Torque is the way a force twists an item about an axis.

1.356 Newton meters are equivalent to one foot-pound (ft/lb) (Nm). To convert newton meters (Nm) to foot-pounds (ft/lbs), divide your amount (Nm) by 1.356.

The newton meter (also newton meter or newton meter; sign Nm or N m) is a SI unit of torque (also known as moment). 

The unit is also employed as a unit of work or energy comparable to the joule, the more popular and standard SI unit of energy. When used to convey torque, the meter word reflects the distance traversed or displacement in the direction of the force, not the perpendicular distance from a fulcrum. However, since torque reflects the amount of power transmitted or spent per rotation angle, one-newton meter equals one joule per radian.

Nm to Lb-Ft Conversion Formula: 1 newton-meter = 0.73756215 pound-force-feet

An si canoe?

The real question is how many pound-feet in a Newton-meter?

Get your units right.

Beat me to it 

yep, always force before distance

So, Snap-On got it wrong?

Yes.

They also spelled torque wrong

Cool story bro...

Now I need to know how to convert Horespower to Donkeystrength, for that will be my new unit of measure from this point forward. 

Zebrathrust racing sounds like a good name.

I'm sure the thrust a llama puts out varies based on diet

Seems like the right place for this.

I use the Clarkson method and just call them "torques".

Yes, but.  Does the airplane take off?
