A cheap flare tool is worse than no flare tool. We've got gas lights in the
camp connected with copper tubing. A few years ago we redid the interior which
required the lines come down, when we put them back up the brittle old copper
cracked and I had to remake quite a few flares. For awhile we had a cheap flare
tool (like $10 or less cheap) which would crack every single dang flare. I
finally got so frustrated I threw it in the woods.The replacement tool was more
than $50 but absolutely worth it.
These days I know a little more about copper and realize I needed to anneal the
copper before making flares and I probably could have gotten the cheaper tool
to work better but in the end the good tool is easy to use where the cheap tool
was horrible.

I agree with Greg. After trying several flaring tools, last year, I found
that Eastwood tool worked by far the best.
