ELECTRICAL OUTLET CUTTING JIG

Disclosed herein is an electrical outlet cutting jig that includes a ruler and a body having a lower perimeter, wherein the body includes a first channel defined along a first axis of the body. The body also includes a first level indicator and a second level indicator orthogonal to the first level indicator to enable a user to align the cutting jig correctly. The first channel is configured to receive the ruler such that a lower surface of the ruler is flush with the lower perimeter of the body and such that the ruler can slide within the first channel. The ruler enables the user to position the body of the cutting jig at a predetermined distance from a location, such as a door frame, floor, skirting board, or the like.
