DIY project advice please

[jim3rg]

I have 2 items to hang on a concrete wall, the first is:
Flat screen TV wall bracket. Wall plug size M10 x 50mm Bolts M6 x 50mm
second:
2 Tier media shelf, Wall plug size 6 x 50 mm. Screw size 5 x 55mm
There is a lack of information on these units so I was wanting to know what size drill bits to use for the above. I have a 750w hammer drill and a set of Dewalt bits. I just wanted to make sure i use the correct size for the job.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
Jim

I usually (depending on the wall material) drill one size under especially if you're using a percussion drill which'll take longer and potentially open the hole up, if you really can't gently tap the plug in (don't force it) you can always re-drill with the next size up.

Masking tape an envelope to the wall to catch drill dust.

How did you get on with the damp in the kitchen?

Turns out the exterior needed serious work so I was told to leave it. We have moved since then however.
