David,
I bought my tool at NAPA.  Any local auto parts chain store should be
able to get you one.  Mine was around $100.  If you have an Auto Zone
they have a nice policy of "loaning" you the tools you need for a job.
You buy it but if you bring it back in good shape and within a certain
period of time they will give you all of your money back on it.

I get my fittings from VW along with the metal tubing.  Either of these
aren't very expensive directly from them.  I have totally redone the
braking line system of two Vanagons last year.  It is not that bad if
you have the tool and you prepare the end of the metal line properly.

Hope this helps,
Ken Wilford
