Wait, that's a real measurement?
I went out and looked at my torque wrench just for kicks. Yup, the scale
is clearly marked 'foot pounds'. That's the 1/2 drive one. I didn't look
but I'm sure the 1/4 drive is marked 'inch pounds'.
These are the traditional beam wrenched with a pointer and scale, not the
newer automatic sort.

Mine has 'Foot pounds' where that one has 'Craftsman' but it's similar.
The description says '0-75 Ft. Lbs.'
https://shoppress.dormanproducts.com/wheel-torque-specs/That sums up why I prefer the beam style. They are accurate until the beam
breaks and I've never had that happen.
