It can be tricky to do a good job. The anchor you use depends on what you're doing. Tapcons are easy and will work if the loads aren't great. I've used a lot of Trubolts on horizontal and vertical down applications. I fill the hole with epoxy, set the Trubolt tight, and it's there for good. A lot can depend on the strength of the concrete you're going into. Don't get discouraged if you

Whatever you do, you'll need a hammer drill. You can rent them. I bought a Bosch with a 3/8 chuck ten years ago and it's still going strong. I drilled a lot of 1/2 holes with it.
