Hmmm... I wonder if a worn-out spade bit would be strong enough to be repurposed into just such a tool?

Shorten the shank enough and it just might

Also seems like the bend shown in that piece of tubing would be necessary in order to maintain control as the tool spins and pulls on the tube.

Swaging the tubing would greatly reduce the number of connections in the plumbing

it sure wouldn't take long to pay for a complete set even if only using the 1/2 and 3/4" when adding or replacing copper in a home
