You don't need any tools to turn it on.  Just flip it over and rub it for a few minutes.

Do you keep pressure in your tank? Should I be releasing pressure after every time I use it?

I keep whatever pressure is left in mine after shutting it off. It typically bleeds down over the course of a few days.
I undo the valve at the bottom every few uses to get the condensation out. If you see the water coming out really rust-tinted, you might want to drain it every use.

Elerium-115,

Make sure you do the break in period.  Oil to the full level, 20 minutes running with valve fully open, close valve while running until cutoff, shut off, open valve to drain all air and any water, close valve.   You will extend the life by a lot if you follow the right break in period.  As for tools, chisels are always good to use, especially to get large hardened globs of glue off.
