(Autistic nit-pick - not true of the kilogram, 1kg=2.2lb)

Hey, it's late so if I want to pretend a pound is more than a commie "killagram" then it is. You know drug dealers use kilos to measure hard drugs. More evidence of it's insidious nature.

Typical marketing. The number is larger when they quote in Newton Meters instead of Foot Pounds to make folks think they are getting a better product.
