Was debating between that and just using my impact for everything, but the right angle head got me into a tight corner behind the cabinets. Anyone have a go-to tool for old work boxes in plaster walls?

My buddy swears by an oscillating tool for those old plaster boxes, cuts clean.

Can my shaky hands even handle an oscillating tool without making a bigger mess?

Yeah, that right angle head is a lifesaver for tight spots. For old plaster boxes, I'm with @linda_mason82 on the oscillating tool. I use a carbide grit blade to cut the hole. It makes way less dust than a sawzall and doesn't shake the whole wall loose. Just go slow so you don't crack the keys.
