You don't need a hammer drill to drill into concrete, brick, or stone. Concrete is the hardest of the materials, and a regular drill will work just fine; it's just a bit slower, and you will have to apply more force.

Any time you plan to use concrete anchors or concrete screws, you will first need to drill the appropriately sized hole into the concrete So first, you need the correct size masonry drill bit, then a decent quality power drill.

From there, simply mark the location, carefully get the hole started, then drill just like you'd drill into any other surface.

Once you have the hole drilled about 1/4" deeper than the anchor or screw you'll be using, clean out the hole thoroughly and then pound in the anchor or screw in the tapcon screw.
