Re: Drilling into concrete ceiling Tapcons will hold it, as long as the concrete is good.
home depot has 'em in the hardware aisle.
you should use a hammer drill to drill the holes, but it can be done with a regular drill and a masonry bit. it just takes longer. |

yeah I have a hammer drill but it took a fall over the summer I doubt epoxy is going to hold it as it snapped right at the neck between the handle and the top motor part.. sucks since it was not bad.

Just curious - How does one avoid hitting a reinforcing rod? I'd hate to start drilling then be stymied by one of those.

Use a strong magnet and locate the rods. |

one doesn't avoid rebar. you just make a new hole. 
there are devices to sense rebar but they are too expensive for me. |
