Doing SS tubing is an issue - depends on the tubing being used. SS is "brittle" and splits easily when flaring. Did you get seamless and annealed tubing from a good quality brake line supplier?
I'm looking for an inverted 45 so double flare tool, yes these are typically different tools. The stainless i picked up is seamless 304 .187 .028 wall. So far seems to work for the 37* stuff just fine.
I got the tube from Onlinemetals or metals supermarkets locally so i could get 20ft lengths
