"Why are you still refusing to deal with the "meter kilograms" on my
torque wrench---?"

Multiply the meters by 3.28 and multiply the kilograms by 2.2, and you
will have torque in their product computed in foot pounds. Or, just
multiply the dial reading by 7.22 for ft.lbs. Torque is the product of
force and distance.

Weight is a force produced by gravity on a particular mass.

The indication on a torque wrench is muscle force times lever length. It
directly has little relation to gravity in most torque wrench
applications.

Weight is the easy way to determine mass. Computing mass from collection
of acceleration data would be more complicated. M = F/A
