I am also looking for a pro version. That mastercool one looks ace, but exy!
The $15 to $20 Chinese Flaring Tools are a lot of Crap and designed for KIDS.

If you want to do proper double flaring job you need a PRO SET which can cost up to $500 which has the correct anvils and dies.

Attached is a photo of A Meco Metric Flaring Tool .Part NO,M709 as manufactured by Reg. Harrison P/L Sydney.

I got one which was bought many years ago from a mechanic/deceased estate .Cost was around $50.

If you want to do simple flariing job (and it is only one or two )take your 10mm bundy tubing to a brake specialist and he will charge a small fee if the expense of buying the tool outright is not justified.

Just to finalise this thread
I got my K Tool Professional Brake Flaring Tool Kits 70081
from Summitracing and I am very happy with the flares it produces.
Double flares are a easy now....no swearing and cursing.....well worth the money.

Great tool.

I was going to get the brakequip one as it comes with dies for 37 AN flares also, but at over $500 I figured I couldn't justify the cost. So I decided to get the Eastwood one but they wanted $88 in freight, so I have ordered the K-Tool from Summit :)
