I do everything I can on the bench where I have a vise to hold my flaring tool. Then I have the leverage and can see what I am doing much better. I also pay very close attention to the distance tube protrudes from the anvil or tube clamp during process.
When doing the last few ends on the chassis I can often C-Clamp the tool to a 5 ton jack stand, again to free up my hands so not fighting to hold the tool and do the flare.
