    Wooden cladding / multi tool

    I have been asked to price a massive rewire and the entire downstairs is wooden clad walls. The wooden cladding is staying, I have to cut new boxes into it. Will a multi tool cut the cladding neatly and quickly ? I have never used a multi tool so any advice appreciated
