678 Nm is well above standard hand-tool range and is common in heavy diesel engines, construction equipment, and large-scale industrial assembly.
They are different amounts of torque. 678 Nm = 69.13675924 kgf·m. Kilogram-force meters use gravitational force, while Newton-meters use absolute force.
500.0671 ft·lbf converts back to approximately 678 Nm. Multiply ft-lbs by 1.3558179483 to get Newton-meters.
