In the past I've used the angle grinder to chase out electrical back
boxes and have created an amazing amount of dust....

You can buy box sinking tools for use with hammer drills that cut the
hole exactly to the right shape for a single or a double gang wall box.

Seen these and do wonder how well they work.


Not much use IMHO.



They seem only to be demonstrated going into light soft aerated concrete
(breeze) blocks


You don't need anything clever with those.


True, but the main attraction is the right sized hole cut cleanly and
fast. So they have a place if you need lots of cut-outs in the right
kind of wall.
