The present disclosure is directed to a construction device having a receptacle configured to provide an indication of a geometric shape of the receptacle on a panel of sheetrock. The receptacle includes walls having a thickness and a length, a cavity delimited by the walls, the cavity configured to provide an interface through the panel of sheetrock, a first end configured to abut the panel of sheetrock, the first end having a surface that corresponds to the thickness of the walls, a second end spaced from the first end by the length of the walls, and a plurality of integrally formed protrusions extending from the surface of the first end, the protrusions configured to at least indent the panel of sheetrock to form a pattern of indentations that indicate the geometric shape of the receptacle.

1. A construction device for use with a panel of drywall, comprising: a receptacle configured to provide an indication of a size and geometric shape of the receptacle on the panel of drywall, the receptacle including: walls having a thickness and a length, the walls delimiting a cavity, the walls including a first end that circumscribes the cavity; anda plurality of protrusions extending from the first end of the walls, the protrusions integrally formed with the first end of the walls, each of the protrusions having a terminal planar surface spaced from the first end of the walls, the terminal planar surface configured to indent the panel of drywall without penetrating an outer surface of the drywall to form a pattern that corresponds to the geometric size and shape of the receptacle, the protrusions configured to be manually removable from the first end of the walls. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the protrusions are formed to have a geometric shape in the form of one from among a cylinder, a cone, a truncated cone, a triangular prism, a right triangular prism, a pyramid, and a truncated pyramid. 3. The device of claim 1 wherein a diameter of the protrusions is less than the thickness of the walls. 4. The device of claim 1 wherein the receptacle is a rectangular electrical box. 5. The device of claim 4 wherein the plurality of protrusions are positioned at corners of the rectangular electrical box. 6. The device of claim 1 wherein the receptacle is a round electrical box. 7. The device of claim 1 wherein the receptacle is a conduit. 8. A construction device to aid in forming an opening in a wall member having a solid surface, the opening matching the size and shape of a receptacle adjacent the solid surface, the device comprising: a front surface of walls of the receptacle, the front surface having an inner edge on an interior surface of the receptacle and an outer edge on an exterior surface of the receptacle; anda plurality of protrusions integrally formed on the front surface and positioned adjacent to the outer edge, the protrusions extending from the front surface and arranged in a pattern that corresponds to the size and shape of the front surface of the receptacle, each protrusion having a terminal planar surface spaced from the front surface of the walls, the terminal planar surface configured to bear against and indent the solid surface of the wall member without puncturing the solid surface. 9. The device of claim 8 wherein the terminal face of the protrusions have a geometric shape of one from among a circle, an oval, a square, a rectangle, a triangle, and a polygon. 10. The device of claim 8 wherein the protrusions are one from among a cylinder, a cone, a truncated cone, a triangular prism, a right triangular prism, a pyramid, and a truncated pyramid. 11. The device of claim 8 wherein the protrusions extend orthogonally from the front face by a distance so that the protrusion does not puncture the solid surface. 12. The device of claim 8 wherein the protrusions extend past an outer edge of the front face by a distance to enable the protrusions to indent the solid surface without puncturing the solid surface. 13. The device of claim 8 wherein the shape of the receptacle is one from among a circle, a square, a rectangle, a triangle, and a polygon.
