You can get one of these to fit your oscillating multitool - see:

or for those who have a HF near you (since this is instore only):

and of course, there are a bunch of these on Amazon as well, with ratings from poor to not so poor.

An interesting comment that I saw, probably repeated often:

"too short and wide for most 1-gang and 2-gang old work boxes"

I prefer just a plain straight oscillator blade for that kind of work. Makes less of a mess and you can make a hole for any size box. AND if you have to trim a bit of the a stud to fit the box into a tight spot that is no problem.
