I have cinder block walls along one side of the garage and hang a lot of 'tool storage' hangers and such. Often what I buy comes with screws and anchors so I use that but I have some hangers I just got for hanging lawn equipment that did not.
I already know a different type of drill bit is used for concrete, and I have those. However if I need to buy some screws and anchors for concrete, and wondered are they different than ones used for drywall? For example if I go to the hardware store and get one of those '150 piece' screw + anchor variety set, are they OK to use in concrete or are there any differences for screws and anchors used in concrete?

Suitablilty of fasteners for supporting bracketry in concrete depends mostly on the weight.
There are overlaps between light and medium duty , based on screw size and depth of penetration. Follow package directions closely. Drill the exact size hole and depth called for, the fastener retention depends on it!
