Default drilling into concrete block in basement to put up shelves...

I have a question

i want to hang a shelf to hold my detergent, fab softner, etc above my
washer dryer combo in the basement of my house.

THe walls are made of cynder blocks. Is it smart to drill into them in
order to put in anchors so i can hang a shelf....or would i be better
off doing something else. I dont want to crack the block or anything.

Any opinions?


A Hammer drill will save you lots of time. There are screws that screw
directly into the hole you drill so you can use those instead of an
'anchor.'
