Ehh Not bad, not great.
The actual cutout works well enough, but I recommend checking with another level. Mine was definitely off and I checked it with 2 other levels. So I just sharpied the new center on this for cutins. Works good otherwise!

Double check
These work wonderful, but double check with a regular level to ensure they are accurate. I bought a bunch for my employees and some are not perfect with the level. With that being said, they really work great I will buy them again.

Levels dont work
Its a great product but the levels are useless and not accurate. Its still really useful for island receps. and cut in boxes, but dont trust the level!!!

One of Those Tools You Lived Without, but Shouldn't Have
In doing electrical work for 40 years or so, I would simply hold a box against the wall and use a marker to stencil the outline. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be a problem in cramped spaces, or if it is difficult to hold a level and the box securely. So, this "makes sense" tool immediately drew my attention when I saw it while looking for something else.It's simple, and it works. The larger portion is for plastic (ugh) boxes, and is fine. The smaller piece, which pops off the larger one, fits a Steel City or Raco single box perfectly, including the side projections. Just hold it to the wall and outline, no problem! If you are using an old work box with side brackets, you'll have to add another notch on each side.

It’s works but a solid two gang version be nice two
I use it for both commercial and residential installs. I forgot I had it but when I did use it, or was a great. The on board levels makes it quick and efficient. Although I think snapping it in and out of the base will wear out the edges pretty quick. Either way it’s inexpensive enough to just buy a few of them.

Does not conform to all electrical boxes
Most electrical boxes do not fit the tracer.

NOT LEVEL
The tracer is a good size but the level bubbles are not accurate and are not of any help. Can't even use another level with the product due to the shape of it. Would not recommend

Good idea, poor execution
I currently pull out my bank card as a template to cut in boxes for plugs and switches and use my level in tandem because quality.I bought this template to try what I thought was a more convenient method and when I used it I couldtell right away that the trace was way off. Sure enough I confirmed that it was not level with my torpedo. No point in using this thing if I have to use my torpedo anyway.Also it was a little bigger than a bank card so not as much drywall for support.Would not recommend.

Too small
I found it really isn't quite right...the hole it makes is typically too small
