I have a single point and I am pleased with the action. Rather than pound the shxx out of the tool, I like to activate it in my arbour press. I often finish the crimp by "encouraging" the arbour press with a little help from a large dead-blow hammer on the ram.
I think the leading cause of failure is a poorly done crimp.
I am not suggesting this single point is be-all and end-all answer to success. It is affordable and it works. If I see a good deal on a USA made hydraulic crimp tool, I will upgrade.
I did get a terrific deal on a "HEX" hydraulic crimper for air-conditioning hose. I do not want to depend on the local rip-off AC shop.
