The rotozip is nice because it has a depth stop, but I used an electric
die grinder with a rotozip bit when I did some drywall recently. I
found
the bits in the tool crib at Home Depot. Rotozip makes several
different bits
including carbide rasps that will cut/shape almost anything. Using it
certainly was easier than measuring, but it's a good idea
to push the electrical wires well back into the box before hanging
the drywall. The rotozip bit will tear up the wire insulation if you
hit it.
