I just went outside and put a 1/4 inch bolt through a plate and torqued it
down to 10 inch pounds as read on my new snap-on torque wrench. it's the
first digit.
I then grabbed the nut and promptly unscrewed it with my fingers. I weigh
about 140 pounds and do not lift weights. Ha Ha . somthing is very wrong
here.
Aer the glow plugw made from soap?

Question; wouldnt 10 inch pounds be less than 1 foot pound. ( 12 inches to 1
foot ???)

Regards
Emmett
