Question about torque Login - Sign Up

I recently bought a torque wrench that goes from 0-75 ft-lbs
Most of the torque specifications in the manual I'm using is in Ft-lbs but some of it is in in-lbs.
Specifically the thermostat cover bolt is rated at 156 in-lbs torque, would that be the same as 13 ft-lbs or did I buy the wong wrench?

Yes, 13 ft lbs would be the same as 156 inch pounds but the inch pound torque wrench will be more sensitive and more accurate at the lower torques (under 20 ft lbs).
