Yep, even things that I was sure were wired one way...turns out not...this really old house (1912), with original wiring (as best I could tell...something updated in like 1960, but not everything), glass insulators still in the walls, etc...well had a switch (push button type) for a light...I figure it's just hooked up normal, since why would something that old have any of this new wiring methods (switching the common leg, etc...no idea why I thought that was 'new')....but nope...it was wired to switch the neutral wire...which is annoying since then you really do need to shut off a breaker if at all possible (and with wiring so old when you bent wires the insulation broke off...yeah I wasn't doing this live)..I do not go near wiring projects without this tool.
