Because even for something like changing a wall socket or light switch
I switch the mains off and double check with volt stick.

I think John meant that you can reverse the way you use a volt stick for
safety.Â* That is, turn the circuit /on/ and use the volt stick to see
which red is always live and which live only when the light switch is on.

Indeed - if you are going to test which wire is live, a non contact
method is safer and generally less hassle.
