Useful diagram - I'll just have to convert to metric.

Its a Black and Decker hammer variable speed drill. Obviously the hammer option is turned off!

comment Drilling holes in concrete
Just a tip - the next time you drill a hole for an anchor, measure the anchor against the drill bit and wind a bit of tape around the drill bit marking the end of the anchor (allowing for some slack). Then drill up to the tape. That way you'll know that the anchor will fit.

No - I use the correct drill bit size to drill the hole and then "gently" hammer them in. Normally a pretty tight fit.

Updated question for brick wall. In that case, you can't poke them through.
