Like most thing, you get what you pay for. I got a kit from a Glasgow tool shop (Bill's Tool Store - Bain St) which works but is not the most precision tool I own! Quality stuff can be bought from Franklin direct or through a stockist:http://www.franklin-tools.co.uk/acatalo ... KES_6.html
It is remarkably easy to use a flaring tool. Avoid steel pipe and make sure you have the correct unions. Practice makes perfect.
