useful for situations where blasting isn't an option too

I've seen stone cutters split big rocks with sleeves, wedges and not very big hammers, these things look like they are putting out some serious force.

There is a NASA tech that works on a similar principle (expand to split rock) but uses a shape memory alloy instead of hydraulics.
