Lol. But it might be a little longer than a foot. Still seems like there should be a bigger factor of safety on the hardware.

Just so nobody makes the mistake of assuming their mass (weight) is small enough to hang on a torque wrench - the lbs in ft-lbs is pounds - force. You need to multiply your mass (150 lbs) by the acceleration of gravity to get the true force. I believe gravity is ~32 ft / sec^2. Thus, a 1 ft long torque wrench with you hanging off it would be 4,800 ft-lbs of torque.

That's actually not at all correct. Acceleration due to gravity is already accounted for in scale readings so weight measurements are are actually in lbs-force. Read this.

10-4. I stand corrected. It's been over 20 years since I took mechanics in college.

Same. It's another confusing quirk of the English unit system. I do a lot of FEA work dealing with acceleration and body forces so this stuff hasn't gone stale with me yet.
