I couldn't tell you how often they've come in handy around the house. If mounting multiples, they can be used to generate a cardboard template that can be used directly on the wall.

If one sets a compass to the distance between the holes then swinging an arc from the first marked hole will show all the locations on the wall that preserve that distance. Unfortunately, I can't think of a simple, clever way to determine the point on the arc that provides the desired orientation of the power strip.
Transfer punches do look like very useful tools and would be easy to make.

Thanks,
