A regular drill with a concrete bit will do fine, if you are only drilling
a few holes. I've done it.

I agree if it is small diameter holes. If you are going to drill 1" or
larger holes, it gets tough, especially if you have to go deep. I have a PC
1/2" right angle drill (electricians use them) that will certainly handle
the job. but the bits might be a weak part of the equation. The web site I
posted earlier talks about both concrete and wood drilling. The concrete
part preceded the right angle wood discussion.

As one poster mentioned, it sounds like a good time to rent a tool.
