Where on earth do you get your luck from Dave? On 8x1.5's from the
screwfix ranges that claim no pilot hole all I seem to get is split
f**king wood - so much so that I've given up and gone back to Pilot
Holes and Quicksilvers....seems that lady luck ain't on my side much
;-)

I'm not sure if they are the same animal but I tend to use Wickes 'Easy
Drive' screws. I've put 4" x 10 straight into softwood with no problem and
no splitting at all. 1.5" x 8 go into anything with no splitting.

Are they the same as the Screwfix ones?
