Default AC hardline dies?

Anyone know where to find the dies or a tool to do the flares on the end of an automotive A/C hardline?

I've got the mastercool kit that does everything else under the sun and since they do refrigeration tools also I thought for sure they would have a die kit for this but no such luck.

I haven't seen any portable type. I ended up buying a hose crimper and just buy the ends from Vintage Air.

Not sure if this helps or not, but I used the EZ-clip fittings on my truck project. I had some tight spots where I used stainless tubing and tigged on the o-ring fitting from Vintage Air.
