I learned something right off the bat, all of my playing with the initial thing setting, guessing more than not, and it was right in front of me. You use the Adapter with the Pin to set the initial tubing depth.
Also, this video was for Copper-Nickel Tubing.

Looks like there is a Hydraulic Flaring Tool ($250+), but other than that it looks like all of the kits are similar so all you need to do is buy the Name Brand you like, i.e. Snap-On, Craftsman, or others, and get to it !
There was mention of a Triple Kit, it had the Standard Flare, the Double Flare, and the Metric Bubble Flare... "Metric Bubble Flare" I had never heard of that one until today, funny !
The Triple Kit was about $60-90, just the Standard Flaring kit were around $40-50 and the Standard Kit with a Double Flaring setup was $60+ ! I'm sure if you buy Snap-On you will be paying more...
I will be using my old kit, and use the tip I just learned about the initial tubing setup and see how things work out; may have to practice a little !
