Multiply by 8.8507458. 5 N·m is 44.3 in·lbs, 10 N·m is 88.5 in·lbs and 12 N·m is 106.2 in·lbs. A quick estimate is nine times the N·m figure, which overstates by about 2%.
This is the conversion to use for small metric fasteners when your torque screwdriver or 1/4" drive wrench reads in in·lbs — for example an M6 class 8.8 screw at 10.5 N·m is 93 in·lbs. Values under about 20 in·lbs are below the accurate range of most click wrenches, so use a torque screwdriver there.
