I can see them being useful for a pro mechanic on the clock but they'll also need a supply of fully charged batteries in reserve. Meanwhile those multiple batteries must be recharged for the next day.

Bingo...when just piddling about in my garage, never really felt the "need" for power tools. No denying the cool factor, but Breaker bar, regular hand powered ratchet, and sockets seemed to eventually get the job done for me.
However, looking at the toolboxes being sold today, most of the setups include a power lead-in, many offer a wired in "power drawer" with plug ins for chargers, computers, and cell phones.
