A pound is not mass.
Period, end of story.
A kilogram is mass. A kilogram times a meter is a Newton, which is force. A Newton of force applied to wrench one meter long produces a newton-meter of torque.
That same torque is 0.738 pound-foots, which is the same as 0.738 pounds of force applied to a wrench a foot long.
Pounds are force, as are newtons. When you're in space, your "weight" is zero pounds. Your MASS does not change.
