Select the face to split, but keep the original mesh.  
With LOW poly, this gives much more accurate surfaces.  
This would create a copy of the area created with the Split Tool without destroying the original mesh.  
The split function would also be great with a green dot to confirm - like the SelMask, then you could combine different tools before splitting.
