The only thing i could think of doing is what you already mentioned,
"PowerToolPerHit": {
"M": -0.5,
"WC": -0.5

hey. I post it as an answer around a year ago on one topic here but I think it would be worth checking by plugin author and maybe implementing.

So the problem is that xp is counted per hit so if you use jackhammer or chainsaw you get stupid amounts of exp. I made a custom quick fix for that checking what tool is being used and in method levelHandler I'm multiplying the amount of exp by 0.2. It makes these tools giving around the same amount of exp as normal tools do.

I'm posting code fragment from levelHandler method with my addition. @nivex consider implementing it in any way, maybe with config options regarding the multiplier and even activating this part. 

Others if want, can use this code for them own. But be aware, its a custom code fragment and you use it at your own risk :D First and last line of the fragment are exactly the same as in the plugin so just find them and paste this code in their place. Minimum programming knowledge might be required.

var activeItem = player.GetActiveItem();
if(activeItem != null)
{
    if(skill == Skills.MINING && Equals(activeItem.info.shortname, "jackhammer"))
    {
        pointsToGet = (int)(pointsToGet * 0.2);
    }
    else if(skill == Skills.WOODCUTTING && Equals(activeItem.info.shortname, "chainsaw"))
    {
        pointsToGet = (int)(pointsToGet * 0.2);
    }
}
var xpMultiplier = Convert.ToInt64(playerPrefs.PlayerInfo[player.userID].XPM);

This would be awesome if Nivex implements this! I've looked at the .cs, though am unable to locate the first line you specified. Are you able to post a copy of your CS? 😀 My Players have been complaining about not being able to use Jackhammers / Chainsaws to gain XP (disabled intentionally) for months.

I can give you the .cs file no problem, DM me as I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post it here :P

Hail to Nivex 

What I did on my server was reduce xp per hit to 1. It takes forever to level up, even with power tools, especially considering there are 200 levels. However, I don't wipe my zlevels so my players have been working on them for many wipes, many of them just now getting into the 20s. The only one I have to wipe regularly is Crafting. 

Are the XPperHit options able to process fractions? If so, I could set the powered tools to 0.5 (or lower) and 1 for hand tools. That might make up for it, assuming the plugin tracks the fractions in the background. If the plugin's background math is rounding, then it doesn't matter in the long run. 

Same here. Power tools level up XP way too fast. It would be great if we could put fractions in there but when I do I get errors.

so maybe it'll be enough now

Power tools work normally now? I didn't test it yet

yes they work much better
