all you do is multiply by 12
True, I've always just multiplied in the past. The problem of accuracy is really about the increments on my in/lb wrench jumping from 100 to 200 with only one little line between. I'd like to find something with better/more increments and figured while I'm at it a 3/8" ft/lb wrench might not be a bad addition.

I also have a click type with the twist handle to set torque which seems possibly a better option than the pointer type. Maybe they both work fine though...
