I'd buy one if I was doing more than a couple of boxes.

I need to cur drywall in a few places to run network wires, but I don't think i will spend $45 for this tool.
Now if I had to do several dozen of these, maybe.
Yeah, thats my assessment.
My favorite part of running ethernet through my walls - NEVER thinking about my home network. Because it just works.

I convinced the boss we needed one at work since we're always doing remodeling. So I just borrow it when I need it.

Just oscillating tools in general...that and Sawzalls...where were they when I was younger?
My first memory of an oscillating saw was in the 1980s when I had broken my leg. They used one to cut the cast off, and before cutting showed me how it couldn't cut skin.
They were in use in the 60s. I still have the burn scars.

It looks like the Cast Saw was the origin of the modern oscillating saw, and it became mainstream once it's patent expired around 2009.
It started around 1967 looking like this.

Since its founding in 1867, Wilhelm Emil Fein had been inventing products as a pioneering electrical engineer, from developments on Bell’s telephone to the first electric hand drill. This continued for many years, including the design and manufacture of many types of power tools. But in 1967, Fein looked beyond the trades world and identified a common issue in the medical profession: how to remove plaster casts easily without cutting the patient.
Instead of rotation—like the way circular and drop saws work, for example—Fein utilised an oscillating action for the blade. As we know, rotating objects will cut. Oscillating objects will only cut certain things – harder objects; oscillating blades need the resistance from harder surfaces to work, much like the resistance needed for a ball-point pen to dispense ink. Consequently, this style of blade and tool will cut the plaster, and less likely human skin, apart from the occasional minor burn.
...
And in the ensuing years, Fein tweaked the unit to accommodate several types of attachments, and the MultiMaster was launched to a market of serious tradespeople who were looking for a premium multi-purpose power tool. This exclusivity remained this way for decades—the unit considered the domain of high-end professional consumer—until Fein’s patent for the oscillating mechanism expired in 2009.
Since ’09, big hitters such as Bosch, Milwaukee, Porter Cable and even Dremel have released their own version of the product. And an explosion in the OEM market saw the shelves at hardware stores fill up with budget-conscious options from Ozito, AEG and the like.
Fein still stand, however, head and shoulders above the copyists. Still made in Germany, Fein’s products are being constantly improved via strict R&D processes, and continue to bring new ways for trades to carry out their work easier and quicker. In recent years, Fein were the first to introduce tool-free attachment change, eliminating the need for the fiddly hex key – the Starlock Plus system. And their Lithium-Ion battery life is one of the longest on the market.
