Installing some crossbars on our car. They provide a torque indicating wrench and say to tighten to that torque (no more no less).
How does this thing work?

Spring inside. Line up the two arrows and you have the right torque.

You would have to have to exert 70 pounds of force on the outside to get 4Nm of force. 70 lb is a lot, plus the plastic is probably a little slick. |
