Do you have an outlet hose? This won't need any kind of compressor?
I remember you talked about using it as a tacker. Can it also be used for something like pumping up a tire? I hope you'll let us know how well it works.
Yes, I've got numerous pneumatic hoses, so I can always attach one to this tank. It won't require a compressor of its own, and hence won't need an electrical cord connection. When the pressure in the little red guy gets too low, I'll take it back to the big tank to refill. And, sure, it'll be great for pumping up tires. Also as an air source for a paint sprayer, for small jobs, or just to shoot a stream of compressed air to clean stuff out. Etc.

I'll try to remember to report when I first put it into real action.

This morning I filled the tank and then detached it from the big tank of my compressor. I attached a hose and the tacker, and made a test. Worked great. So I look forward to my first job with it.
