I think allowing the gather multiplier to be applied when using powertools without zlevels applying XP points and leveling up would be a great idea. It would mean the users would have to work with handtools to level up and increase the gather multiplier, but then could reap the benefit while using powetools without powering through zlevels. It could be done with a config option to turn it on or off. Something like this:
I think this code would work, not sure though I don't have experience with Rust Plugins.
Thanks!

//In levelHandler
...
var xpPercentBefore = getExperiencePercent(player, skill);
var Level = getLevel(player.userID, skill);
var Points = getPoints(player.userID, skill);
item.amount = Mathf.CeilToInt((float)(item.amount * getGathMult(Level, skill)));
if ( powerToolsOnlyGiveGathMult && ( player.GetHeldEntity() is Jackhammer || player.GetHeldEntity() is Chainsaw ) )
return;
var pointsToGet = (int)pointsPerHitCurrent[skill];
var xpMultiplier = Convert.ToInt64(playerPrefs.PlayerInfo[player.userID].XPM);
Points += Convert.ToInt64(pointsToGet * (xpMultiplier / 100f));
getPointsLevel(Points, skill);
