Except for the +2 bonus so strenght checks and skills, the item is kinda worthless, or I missed something? I mean: It gives +2 automatic damage when you do a power attack, and a -2 automatic to hit at the same time... when I do a power attack, it's almost always with a 2-handed weapon, with a 2 to 1 tradeoff. Anyone would like that kind of item, if yes, why? Maybe I missed something

The item doesn't force you to Power Attack, it just gives you a +2 bonus to Power Attack damage (above the normal benefit of Power Attack) whenever you take a penalty of -2 or greater. In other words, when taking a -2 penalty on a two-handed attack, you'd get 6 points of extra damage, rather than 4.
