Our take
Three functions
A rotary switch selects between hammer drilling and chiselling, with and without the chisel locked in position. Locking the chisel holds it at a fixed angle for chasing or scraping, while leaving it free lets you rotate it to the best position first. A pneumatic impact mechanism delivers up to 4,100 blows per minute, according to the listing.
Impact energy and capacity
Einhell quotes 10 J of impact strength and a drilling capacity of up to 40 mm in concrete from a 1,050 W motor. Those figures are close to the trade SDS max tools on paper. SDS max chucking allows quick, tool free changes of bits and chisels.
There is no rotation only mode, so it will not drill wood or metal.
Comfort features
An additional handle, soft grip surfaces and an anti-vibration function are listed to help the tool sit comfortably in the hand during longer sessions. The listed weight is 7.2 kg, similar to the HiKOKI DH40MC and Makita HR4013C.
What you get
Einhell includes a 40 cm pointed chisel and a 40 cm flat chisel, along with the additional handle and the E-Box M55 transport case. For a homeowner that means you can start lifting tiles or breaking concrete straight away without buying accessories. The listing mentions a 2 year warranty with an extra year on registration.
Home use versus trade use
For a kitchen or bathroom renovation, the Einhell offers strong figures and a ready to use kit. Trades running a hammer every day are likely to prefer the HiKOKI DH40MC, Makita HR4013C or Bosch GBH 6-42 C, which list features such as AVT, soft start or kickback control and longer stated warranties in HiKOKI's case.
Verdict
The TE-RH 40 3F is a sensible buy for DIY renovators who need SDS max drilling and chiselling with chisels and a case included. Trades who use a hammer daily should look at the HiKOKI DH40MC or Makita HR4013C, and if breaking floors is the only task, a dedicated breaker such as the Makita HM1213C is better suited.
