It annoys me that when you buy torque wrenches here in the US, almost all of them have the primary scale as lb-ft rather than Nm...

Most fasteners have swapped to metric, as have the torque specs, so why are the torque wrenches labelled in simply numbers of lb-ft on the front, and odd Nm scales with each line meaning some fraction of a unit etc.

I resorted to buying my torque wrenches from Europe and importing them to solve this problem, but I wish US tool suppliers would offer at least the option for Nm primary scale.

... rant over!
