Volt Cordless Drill

Can one use a skil cordless 14.4 volt drill to drill pilot holes into the basement cynderblock wall?
Can one use a skil cordless 14.4 volt drill to drill pilot holes into the basement cynderblock wall? Will any cordless drills do this? If not, what kind of tool is neccessary to drill into the wall? (I want to mount some shelves to the wall.)
Thanks,

It's according to the age and the material of the blocks, the number and the size of the holes. I have drilled a lot of 1/4" holes in some basements with a cordless and ran into a couple of them where I couldn't get one hole drilled.
If you start drilling and it seems like you are just getting nowhere fast, you need a hammer drill or you will just grind the tip of even a masonary drill bit down to nothing.
I forget the name of the (I think it is Tappan screws) screws but they are blue and desighned for cement blocks, and they will work supper good for mounting shelves.
If you are useing metal shevlveing brackets use 1 1/2" screws. Any thing thicker than 1/8" or so just add the thickness of the material to the 1 1/2" such as 3/4" boards you would get 2 1/4 to 2 1/2" screws and so on. Use a nut driver bit in the drill to screw them in but I won't gaurantee that your drill will be strong enough to do it, and if it will, it will probably drain the battery pretty fast. Just plug it up again. Be nice if you have 2 batteries.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
