Always make the charge state of an item visible e.g. by showing a black bar instead of transparance as background
(To comunicate more clearly to the player that this item is empty and needs charging)

Maybe also some simple nice generic sounds if/when trying to use power tool without enough charge.
In addition to showing the wear bar after being used, I think it would also be a good idea to show it on newly crafted tools. This could be done with minetest.register_on_craft, or by adding the metadata to the item in each craft recipe.
