Here's a good intro video showing how to mark and make the cuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuRsOr-3aJs
It is also easier to quickly trace around the things you are trying to make the cutouts for. Drive in the bit, do a quick circle, and cutout should be uniform with the box.

Would you get something like this rather than using an oscillating tool?

Have the same question . A oscillating tool cuts through dry wall like butter . Not sure how much benefit you get with this tool over an oscillating multi tool .

The benefit is that you get a charger and 2.0AH battery with free tool of dubious value/usefulness. Does it get very dusty using the oscillator on drywall? Suppose could hold a vac up to it with minimal additional effort given the single-handed nature of such a cut.
If you are ok going slower and learning by doing, measuring and using a keyhole saw works well. It just requires more precision or else there is too much space around the box/outlet and the cover won't hide it
Do you have the link to the previously-posted deal you can link here?
