I want to mount a PT 2 x 4 to a cinder block wall in my basement, in
order to build some shelves.

What is the best way to do this ? These shelves may hold a max of 100 lbs.

I'd plan on it holding 500 - but that's easy.

I have seen those lead "sleeves" which I suppose you screw lag bolts into.
Is that the best method ?

Are there other products which are easier to use ?

I like Tapcons-

Get the ones with a hex head. Pick up a 1/2 hammer drill for about
$50 and you'll love these things. Clean the hole out well with the
bit-- use a hex driver to seat them.
[the last few boxes of 25 (50?) that have I bought came with the right
size drill and a hex driver.]
