Graduates of accredited phlebotomy programs are able to practice and seek work immediately, but many employers prefer to hire certified technicians. Technicians are free to seek certification as soon as they meet the minimum requirements, or until five years after graduation. The minimum requirements include at least 40 hours of classroom instruction, 100 hours of clinical training and at least 100 unaided skin punctures and venipunctures.

91mm Reamer, no sewing-eye. The Reamer is typically used for punching holes in lighter material such as Leather or Canvas, and drilling (or reaming) holes into materials like wood. The tool is tapered so as with any Reamer it can be used to enlarge a whole by twisting and scraping the edges of the opening. The sewing eye can be used to push/pull a heavy thread through Canvas, Nylon, or any material the tool can penetrate. The Sewing Eye was first added to the Reamer in 1985. The Reamer has a hardness rating of RC 52, but it is not known if this applies to all versions if the tool. There are currently three versions of the tool in production. The basic variation is with, or without, a sewing eye. The third is a version included on the Alox scaled knives.
