First time I did flooring I just hammered the screws in. Nearky the
speed of nails and grips nicely. Just regard them as high performance
nails. That was chipboard.


While the engineer's screwdriver works quite well in wood, good quality
flooring grade chipboard needs to be drilled and countersunk to get the
screw heads flush.
