Ive no idea how accurate the flaring has to be but I would have thought

I doubt it. I have a flaring tool for car brake pipes. There's more to it
than just flaring it out a bit. It forms a sort of nipple on the end.
For 10mm copper oil pipe there is no such nipple the nut that goes onto
the pipe first has a female thread which screws into the male thread of
what ever the pipe is connecting to.
