Diceman50 here,

It is an Imperial Eastman flaring tool #2000FS. It can be used in a vise or handheld and will do single, double, 37 degree, and 45 degree flares as well as swaging. They are very expensive, but if you do a lot of flaring or work with stainless steel like I do it is worth it. I have had mine for 15 years or more and I think it was approx. $200. I see that they are over $400 now, although I did see that one sold on Ebay recently for less than a $100. I also used it on the A/C switch on Z10's truck.
