What does an inch-ounce measure?

An inch-ounce measures energy or torque resulting from one ounce-force acting through a one-inch displacement, commonly used for small-scale torque.

When should I use pound-force foot?

Pound-force foot is used to express mechanical work or torque in imperial units, often for tool calibration and engineering involving larger torque values.

Are torque and energy the same in these units?

Though torque and energy share the same dimensional units, they represent different physical concepts and should be interpreted accordingly.
