1. A switch assembly, comprising:
a standard pivot point operable to provide a first mode having a first range, when the standard pivot point is manually aligned with a diaphragm connector to a diaphragm assembly; and
a quick charge pivot point operable to provide a second mode having a second range, when the quick charge pivot point is manually aligned with the diaphragm connector to the diaphragm assembly, wherein:
a range is the difference between a cut-out pressure and a cut-in pressure,
the second range is smaller than the first range,
the second mode adds compressor output over the first mode to extend operating time of a tool that is connected to a compressor,
the standard pivot point is located on a side of a first lever at a first location,
the quick charge pivot point is located on the side of the first lever at a second location, and
a differential cut-in associated with the second mode is faster than a differential cut-in associated with the first mode.
