The tubing flare tool is a good thing to have. However, I've used a DIY tool to do this sort of thing (other holding uses as well).

Take 2 wood blocks and screw or clamp together, a vise works fine for this. Drill an appropriately sized (slightly undersized) hole centered on the line between the blocks. A portion of the hole can be a slightly bigger diameter to accommodate the extended portion of the tubing that the banjo fitting presses into.
