Possibly great for cutting holes in plasterboard stud walls but I'm not
sure that it would help with cutting socket backbox cut outs in
plaster/brick.


I have used the multitool, with a gammy old blade, to cut 1/4" wide
chases into the plaster from ceiling down to door recesses for alarm
contact wiring.


It's not usually cutting the plaster that's difficult, but the brick
underneath. To just chase into plaster a decent chisel is usually enough.
