Two key notes:

1. When flaring tube, use a wrench to tighten the flare tool as tight as it will go. If not, the tube will move during flaring and ruin the flare.

Many folks use the flaring tool you have suggested. However, I became totally frustrated with such a tool because it NEVER made a good flare.
Just trying to be helpful here, but I suggest that if such a tool doesn't work well for you, then here is my suggestion.

See my earlier post.
