Looking for a screw

Hire a nailgun to do it, you'll be forever with a screw gun and you've always got the chance of splitting boards too.

@Hovis I used the tongue tite screws when replacing an entire ground floor of flooring. You get free bits with each pack, but they don’t last long. I just got some more bits and went steady. It may have been quicker with a nailgun but like you I wanted the ability to remove the boards if needed. Once I’d fitted the floor I sold the house and moved so it was fucking pointless, but I had good intentions and I would use them again.

Looking for a screw recommendation. I'm installing an engineered wood floor, 18mm think t&g stuff onto a 22mm chipboard subfloor. Manufacturer says you can install with mechanical fasteners diagonally through the tongue so you dont see them. I assume 99% of the world would do this with a nail gun. I would like to do it with screws because i dont have a nail gun, and also it gives the option to reverse it should I ever need to some day.
I've found these tongue tite screws that look up for the job, but they use a tx10 head and my experience with tx10 is frustrating to say the least (bits dont last long at all). https://www.screwfix.com/p/tongue-tite-tx-countersunk-thread-cutting-floorboard-screws-3-5mm-x-45mm-200-pack/85991
Does anyone know of similar small headed screw that is a tx15?
