Drilling into Brick

Maybe I am missing something here.
I went to home depot and got the blue screws and drill bit, with anchors. However I can not seem to get it to work with my 18v Dewalt.
I need to hang a garden hose reel onto the side of the house next to the water spicket.
Any ideas?

tapcons do not work well in brick, get some redhead anchors. these expand behind the brick and will hold well, just be careful to tighten to pretty snug not real tight, brick is brittle and will crack. if done right these will last for a long time. this style is best for brick. http://www.itwredhead.com/product.php?Dynabolt-Sleeve-Anchors-14

don't use a hammer drill on brick, a regular 3/8 or 1/2" will work with a masonry bit, hammer will break out the back and make it too thin.
lowes carries the redheads as does home depot.
might be a different brand name but look for the ones like in the pic

Brick is very hard. When you drill into it have someone spray a litte water in it while you drill. Bits will burn up fast if you don't. Even carbide.
Like Hoppy said do not use a hammer drill.

drilling the mortor is easier but will not last, get a masonary bit, use a hammer drill and pilot hole drill for concrete screws.
drill into the bricks

Ok... got the anchors and bit.. How do I make a pilot hole? Everytime I try to start, the drill moves around on me.
