According to my research the WormBox is a) relatively efficient (compared to other worm gears) and b) easily backdriveable. I've never used one but saw a few postings that stated this was the case. I'd be careful if you plan on using it as your only means of backdrive prevention, as not all worm gears are anti-backdrive.
