Doh! I don't know why I didn't think of JC Whitney.
Here's the results of some of my searching.

I can't tell for sure if this tool will do the flares we need or not.  It says it does flares, and it looks like it might work, but I'm not sure from the picture if it can get the shape needed.

Sorry for the long link there, but JC whitney has three point flanges in three different sizes.  Should work for most apps I'd guess.
