[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 592782, member: 9253"] No doubt you mean inch-lbs. Pounds is a unit of force, not torque. If someone is not familiar with torquing small screws and uses a ft-lb torque wrench they'll either strip the threads or break the screws. Mike027's numbers are reasonable for typical 8-40 steel screws, but it really depends on the thread size and the material both the screws and threads are made of. [/QUOTE]
