I suspect that size is more of a table saw power or some yard tool like a string trimmer an edger or a hedge/shrub cutter. Yesterday I bought the 'short' 3/8 in. electric ratchet (I'd consider it 'regular'-sized) and a battery and a charger for $129. I still have a coupon for $50 off which I think I will go by an advanced battery maybe three or four amp hours.
You cannot stack discounts so buying the package of a medium price tool a charger and a decent battery gave me a better deal at that time than trying to buy those things individually and applying the $50 coupon.
Online for Lowe's/Craftsman V20:
Update, I just returned from a So. FL Lowe's, I got a 1/4 sheet of sandpaper, sander. It was $79 and I used a coupon from the 'turn-in your old cordless tool battery, and get a 3 a/hr. battery & a charger, plus a $50 off coupon on any regularly-priced V20 tool.' (No Stacking! See above) The sander cost me $29 + tax. The cashier couldn't apply the $50 off coupon, I had to go to the service desk. The service desk woman tried hard to get the sale processed, she had to call the head cashier. The head cashier couldn't get the $50 off coupon accepted, she told me, "we cannot sell you this tool using the coupon you have today." I was politely persistent, and I even had a picture taken in Lowe's when I did my first cordless tool battery turn-in back in May. I even gave them the date of the sale, they tried using my phone # to search for that transaction, but were unable to locate it. I don't have a Lowe's credit card or whatever contractor card they have, but no-luck.
Finally they did get it through, but the head cashier seemed a bit put-out. No sour attitude, I think I made her work her job harder than she wanted-to. She said, "I'm not going to get fired over a $50 give-away to a customer!" That was before they did a work-around for the sale.
Part of the issue was that the $50 off/turn-in an old cordless battery certificate I got when I did my exchange was just a photocopy of what was the original certificate, which was on heavy card stock and lithographed in color. I went to a couple of different Lowe's to get the certificate, and at the second one, I got the b & w photocopy $50 off certificate at the second Lowe's I visited. It was the same woman at both, she does the promotions all-over So. FL. Bottom line, I got the regularly-priced tool, for $50 off.
The other purchase I made today was a 6 a/hr battery for $79. It's regularly $149 or $200 w/a charger. I looked on-line and many places are giving similar discounts.

Seems like they're closing a lot of loopholes. Earlier in the promo, you could use the coupon on the buy the 4Ah battery and charger combo ($99) get a free tool deal and pay $50 after coupon. It would also work on the 1/2 impact that was on clearance for $99. Others reported you could use the code online but when I tried recently, it wouldn't let me. My coupons were both computer printouts, no fancy paper.

I have done the $50 coupon several times. I turned in the old, dead cordless batteries, and got a piece of copier paper w/the explanation of when the deal closes, Aug, 15 I believe it is. It said what the process was. I now have multiple chargers, batteries, and tools.
Today when I went to a Miami FL Lowe's to use the coupon, they had difficulty in processing the coupon. I had to go to the customer service desk, and they called-in the head cashier, but I finally was accorded the $50 off. Now I have some V20 tools which should do journeyman work. I have the Li-ion C3 19.2V Old Craftsman tools, which I've taken good care of and I looked to use the V20 sale to fill in any holes in what I previously had.
Update:
A correction to post #2, above, it was a 9 a/h battery I got in-store for $79, and not a 6 a/h battery.
I'm going to return the mini glue gun, I already have multiple corded ones. I thought I was selecting another tool (not this one), a careless shopping gesture. I use them infrequently-enough that having a cordless glue gun is insufficiently suitable for my needs.
Not shown here is a Craftsman V20 1/2" impact tool I previously used a $50 coupon to purchase, and I got the 3 a/h battery and a charger.
I also noticed how-clean the shopping cart axles were
