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,

A home improvement novice

      If its cynderblock, use a masonary drill bit, without hammer.
