An electrical box layout tool includes a first pointed end, a first cylindrical section, a stopper, a second cylindrical section, and a second pointed end. The first cylindrical section and the second cylindrical section are concentrically connected with the stopper in such a way that the first cylindrical section and the second cylindrical section are oppositely positioned from each other. The first pointed end is concentrically connected with the first cylindrical section while the second pointed end is concentrically connected with the second cylindrical section. The electrical box layout tool is used to create an opening within a drywall or paneling so that the drywall or paneling is able to accommodate an electrical box that is mounted on a framing stud.
