Devil's advocate here... is the cost of the tools greater or about the same as just buying the pre-bent and flared lines from a restorer company?
I have not priced either just asking.
If you only have one project and the pre-bent lines are available that's the way to go.
But, if you have multiple projects that need brake or fuel lines, or any custom applications, the flaring tool is the way to go. I bought one just because I have a bunch of projects, and pre-bent lines aren't available for all of them.
