How can a screw resist splitting?

[g]

Because the tip of the screw is shaped and sharpened to work like a
drill.

The ScrewTites don't try to drill through, they have narrow shanks with
sharp edged threads, a bit like chipboard screws but only on the first
part of the shank, the rest is bare. They're not trying to force a lot
of material out of the way. Perfect for framing, easy pull in and very
little driving force so more screws per battery.
