Default S&W Cleaning Kits

When did S&W stop including a cleaning kit and a screw driver with new revolvers?

I think sometime in the mid-1980s; the final version was a straight rod with checkering at one end (no loop), the bore brush and mop, and a flat stamped metal sight adjustment tool.

I thought in the early to mid 90's but as usual I'm probably mistaken.

You could very well be right, someone here probably has NIB guns from that era and knows for sure.
