i visited the basement to actually look at my tools:

the flaring tool from Aircraft Spruce is called the "Imperial Flaring
Tool", it does 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, and 5/8 inch flares.

the tubing bender i like from Easton is the Sykes Pickavant No. 025600,
it's english made. there is a larger one of the same make which i use
with 3/8" Moroso aluminum line.
