A multi-mode air compressor pressure switch is disclosed. A first mode of operation of the switch has a first range that includes a first cut-out pressure and a first cut-in pressure. A second mode of operation of the switch has a second range that includes a second cut-out pressure and a second cut-in pressure. The second range is smaller than the first range. The second mode of operation adds compressor output over the first mode of operation to extend operable time of a tool that is connected to a compressor that is controlled by the first mode and the second mode.

Swivel actuating pressure switching devices and methods are described herein that include a shorting member that translates and rotates into contact with one or more terminals in response to the application of a specified pressure to a piston included in the switch. The rotation of the shorting member with respect to the one or more terminals can be controlled by a receptacle that can include flutes, which guide the rotational movement of the shorting member in response to fluid pressure that causes the translation of the piston.
