Nah.


1.Use a small sharp screwdriver and a hammer. Gently tap the little
bit of metal at one side of the knock out where it isn't perforated.
When it's cut through lever the knock out out.


Hammering on a box set into plaster may not be the cleverest thing to do.

2. Use a metal drill to drill a hole in the back of the box. Throw the
metal drill away if it has been blunted by the masonry. Use a masonry
drill to extend the hole through the wall.


Eh?
