I didn't say anything about splitting the 1/2" copper pipe. I use it as a drift. You'd have to get really stupid with a hammer to cause any damage to the cups or the head tube. I've been doing it that way for 30 years.
The only way the cups are going to get damaged is by hitting the ground. You can rubber band a rag around the head tube to catch them.
