Additionally, realize this reduction in RPM's means the same ratio of increase in effective torque, which is often desirable.

Minus losses, those cheap little 100:1 gearboxes might be as poor as 40-50% efficient. So it gives;
torque *100 *0.50

I didn't even spot that you specified a 100:1 box in your post because I was expecting it to be 100rpm, so your post was consistent with the box you were talking about.

We all tend to see what we expect to see, don't we? I guess it's a tendency that often serves us well in lots of situations. But when details count, it's a pain in the ass.
