Green Donkey by East Coast Innovations is a purpose-built electrician's tool range [ Read More ]
Green Donkey by East Coast Innovations is a purpose-built electrician's tool range designed for faster and more accurate GPO installations. The system includes precision templates for single and multiple outlet cut-outs, paired with matching 55mm hole saws for gyprock and diamond saws for tiles, eliminating outdated gyprock saws and reducing installation time on residential and commercial projects across Australia.
Green Donkey tools eliminate the guesswork from outlet installations. Traditional methods using gyprock saws, pencils, and rulers leave room for measurement errors, crooked cuts, and damaged plasterboard. The Green Donkey system solves these problems with precision templates and purpose-designed hole saws that work together as a complete installation system.
Cut installation time by 50-60% compared to traditional marking and cutting methods. Install multiple GPOs in the time it would take to measure and cut one outlet using old techniques.
Templates ensure perfect alignment and spacing for single outlets or multiple banks. No more wonky switches or misaligned power points that require patching and recutting.
Templates feature open centres that allow cables to pass through whilst maintaining a visible reference point for accurate positioning. No need to fight with cables during marking.
Clean, precise holes every time mean better presentation for clients and less time spent on touch-ups. Templates work in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
Works perfectly with gyprock hole saws for plasterboard installations and diamond saws for tiled areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries.
Built for repeated use on commercial and residential projects. Compact design fits easily in tool bags and doesn't take up valuable space in the van.
The Green Donkey system comprises four complementary tools that work together for complete outlet installation solutions from marking to cutting across different wall materials.
Small Template for Single GPOs
Designed for single outlet cut-outs in vertical or horizontal orientations. Perfect for standard power points, switches, and data outlets throughout residential and commercial installations.
Applications: Single switches, power points, data outlets, USB sockets
NeXlevel Multiple Cut-Out Template
A multiple cut-out template for vertical and horizontal banks of outlets. Purpose-built for electricians who need to work quickly on larger installations with multiple switches or power points.
Applications: Horizontal power point banks, vertical switch banks, control panels
55mm Gyprock Hole Saw
Purpose-designed 55mm hole saw that pairs perfectly with Green Donkey templates for gyprock installations. Creates clean holes in plasterboard without tearing or crumbling edges.
Applications: Plasterboard walls, gyprock ceilings, standard residential installations
55mm Diamond Hole Saw
Diamond-coated 55mm hole saw designed to work with Green Donkey templates for tile installations. Cuts through ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles cleanly without chipping or cracking.
Applications: Tiled bathrooms, kitchen splashbacks, laundry areas, commercial tiled walls
All four Green Donkey products work together as a complete system. Use templates to mark perfect positions, then use the matching 55mm hole saws to cut clean openings. The 55mm size is specifically chosen to match standard Australian electrical outlet boxes and mechanisms.

The video demonstrates the complete Green Donkey installation process from template positioning to final cutting. Notice how the cable-friendly design allows existing wiring to pass through whilst maintaining accuracy, and how quickly clean, professional cuts are achieved.
The Green Donkey method eliminates measuring, marking, and guessing by using precision templates with integrated cable pass-throughs and matching 55mm hole saws for perfect cuts every time.
Place the Green Donkey template against the wall at your desired outlet location. The open centre design allows existing cables to pass through whilst maintaining a visible centre point. Mark through the template holes using a pencil or marking tool. Templates work in both vertical and horizontal orientations for maximum flexibility.
Use your drill to create pilot holes at the marked positions. These pilot holes guide your hole saw for perfect centring. For multiple outlet installations using the nXlvl template, mark all positions before drilling to ensure consistent spacing and alignment across the entire bank.
Use the Gyp55 hole saw for gyprock or the Dia55 diamond saw for tiles. The 55mm diameter matches the template perfectly and creates the exact opening needed for standard Australian outlet mechanisms. Centre your hole saw on the pilot hole and cut through the material in one smooth operation.
For tile installations, always use water cooling with the Dia55 diamond saw to prevent cracking and extend blade life. Start drilling at a 45-degree angle to create an initial score line, then straighten the drill to complete the cut. This technique prevents the tile from chipping at the entry point.
Ensure the wall surface is clean and free from debris. Confirm there are no obstructions behind the wall at your chosen location. If cables are already present, ensure they're pulled through sufficiently to work with.
Hold the template against the wall at your desired height. Thread any existing cables through the open centre. Check that the template is level using a spirit level, or align it with nearby outlets for consistency.
Use a pencil or marking tool to mark through the template guide holes. Make clear marks that will be visible when the template is removed. These marks become your drill centre points.
Use a small drill bit to create a pilot hole at your marked position. This pilot hole guides the hole saw's centre bit for perfect alignment. Drill through the wall material completely.
Attach the appropriate hole saw to your drill. For gyprock, use the Gyp55. For tiles, use the Dia55 with water cooling. Centre the hole saw's pilot bit in your drilled hole and cut through smoothly in one operation.
The 55mm hole matches standard Australian outlet boxes perfectly. Install your mechanism following standard electrical practices. The clean cut requires minimal trimming or finishing.
The NXLVL template follows the same process but allows you to mark multiple outlet positions in one setup. This ensures perfect spacing between outlets in banks of switches or power points.
When installing multiple outlets horizontally, always mark all positions before cutting. This allows you to verify alignment and spacing before committing to cuts. Use a laser level or straight edge to ensure the entire bank is perfectly level.
Speed up first-fix installations with quick, accurate outlet positioning. Templates work with cables in place, eliminating back-and-forth between measuring and cutting.
Add new outlets or relocate existing ones with precision. Clean cuts mean less patching and painting work for plasterers and painters.
Use the Dia55 diamond saw with templates for power points in tiled splashbacks. Multiple outlet banks above benchtops install quickly and line up perfectly.
Diamond saw cuts through bathroom tiles cleanly for switches, exhaust fan controls, and heated towel rail connections without chipping expensive tiles.
Install banks of power and data outlets quickly for workstations. Templates ensure consistent height and spacing across entire floors.
Fast outlet installation for shop fit-outs where speed matters. Perfect alignment creates professional presentation for client spaces.
Maintain consistency across multiple apartments or units. Templates ensure every outlet is positioned identically, creating uniform installations throughout the development.
Install outlets in classrooms, laboratories, and common areas efficiently. Templates work well for both new construction and retrofit projects in schools and universities.
Green Donkey tools reduce outlet installation time by 50-60% compared to traditional measuring, marking, and cutting with gyprock saws whilst delivering more accurate and professional results.

For a typical residential installation with 30 outlets, traditional methods take approximately 5-6 hours of cutting and installation time. The Green Donkey system reduces this to 2-3 hours, saving 3 hours of labour per house.
On commercial projects with 100+ outlets, time savings become even more significant. The Green Donkey system can save full days of labour on larger projects, allowing electricians to complete jobs faster and take on additional work.
