When did the Craftsman Professional Vise first appear at Sears?

Now that the original version of the professional vise seems to have gone the way of the Dodo I’m wondering how many might be out there in circulation. Using the Wayback machine I found a review going back to 2007 but one Sears page showed it being added to the website in 2009. Either way I guess it must not have been around for long. Anybody know for sure?

I came across a 2006-07 Craftsman tool catalog when going through some old magazines. No professional vise appearing in that catalog but I was surprised to see they actually listed the Wilton Tradesman vises as a “catalog/online exclusive”

Also interesting was that most all of the hand tools were listed as made in the USA.
