Yep. I've used it quite extensively lately and its brilliant. I used to borrow a Sykes Pickavant tool off my mate and this beats it hands down as you can use it on the vehicle. As tools go, this is a must. Follow the instructions and you can't go wrong.
 
Whatever tool you use, I think it's fair to say that the main secrets of successful flaring is to make sure that the end of the pipe is cut absolutely square and the correct grease is used to lubricate the job.

I highly recommend this for the toolbox. Someone on here recommended it when I asked about a brake flaring tool and they were spot on. It will flare steel pipes with ease.
