Eye hook in concrete ceiling?

I'm trying to figure out what sizes to purchase.

-Masonry bit for 20v hammer drill.
-Expansion sleeve/anchor
-Lag Eyebolt

Am I missing anything?

My main issue is not knowing if the sizes correlate accurately.

Do I need to get a 3/8 drill bit, a 3/8 x (xx) Anchor and a 3/8 x (xx) Lag Bolt?

You just want one hook? Ever wanna move it? Might wanna bolt up some strut channel and then you can use it to locate your hooks anywhere along it's length, move them when you want.

It has been years since I used Redhead anchors. But full specs should be online. They come in a variety of sizes and a couple out several hundred had an issue anchoring.

A 3/8 anchor probably uses 1/2 inch hole. It should say on the package the drill bit size.

Anchors are sized by the inside diameter, so a 3/8 fits a 3/8 bolt

Check online for specs. 3/8" used a 5/8' bit when I did them.

The 3/8" drop in anchors I have used take a 1/2" hole, 5/8 would allow them to spin when you are cranking them down to expand them.

I am talking about this style:

Another option is to tapcon a piece of wood (2x4 or 2x6) to the ceiling then you can attach whatever type of lag bolt eye hook you want. Tapcons are blue anchor screws in the hardware isle at HD or Lowe’s. They come in kits with drill bits. You should be able to get something like 1/4x 3” should be plenty to secure a board. Just my .02
