Over the years I have seen this come up a few times and thought I would share this with others.

Interesting. I had no idea there were so many different kinds. I always did inch pounds to foot pounds. Going to save this for later. Thanks for sharing.

If you have a computer in the garage, you can use google too..

For example, search for "convert 10 inch ounces to inch pounds" and it will tell you it is .625 inch pounds, right before the search results.

Works for many other conversions but it didn't seem to work for Nm..

If you have Google Chrome on that computer (which you should, best browser in the world, fact not opinion) then you can enable voice search and with a microphone, you can just say "ok google, 3 foot pounds to inch pounds" and it will reply with the value. Same way you're doing it Maniak but good for those with greasy hands

That's what keyboard condoms are for... https://www.protectcovers.com/keyboard-covers.html?gclid=CKiY16T24cECFVKPfgodzRYAcw

Or use a real keyboard, like a Model M, they don't mind getting greasy.. Course, there are those in the world that will get really upset if they see you treating the venerable Model M board like that...

I wonder if Google search on an android or iphone would even work...

Course, I'm still going to print and hang that pic in the orig. post since I don't need to touch anything to read that.

You are quite welcome. The least I can do for all the help I received.

That's actually where what I mentioned came from. Google Now as they call it, their voice recognition, is helpful. Same thing as Apple's Siri or Microsoft's Cortana. I think Google's the best though but then again, I'm a fanboy.

Printing this out would be a great idea. Another neat thing to have on the wall
