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 do have some mortor bits, so I am guessing that I can drill into this wall
ok. * I don't think it is poured solid at this place in the wall.

Thanks for any tips.

I used the plastic anchors and all purpose (sheetrock) screws to
fasten 2x2 to non-vertical/non straight block walls. Insulated
between with 1" styro foam sheets and sheetrocked. Did that in 1/2
the basement. Looks great and still ther with no problems 20 years
later.

I also built shelves using nothing but the shelf brackets, plastic
anchors and all purpose screws. Also still there after 15 years.

I don't have anythign heavy stored on those shelves (yet) but the
brackets are the heavy duty ones and I would have no qualms about
loading the shelves heavily.
