If I had to guess, I think it was late 80's - at the same time the fluted screwdriver was replaced with the flat screwdriver.

I believe it was in '88. Right about then I bought an awful lot of new S&W's and half had the new cleaning kits, while the other half still had looped rods and fluted SAT's.
