Is this tough enough so that sharp high quality chisels don't cut though and get ruined?

It is fabric so in a word, no. It is very durable for holding metal tools but chisels would cut through it after time. I would suggest leather or capping the ends of the chisels to protect them and the bag.

I would try it, I have never used that tool , I have always used the ( chisel and point) it will take care of most anything. The point will help you bust up concrete (Be careful and don't get them stuck). If you have a lot too do get a couple of each. They wear quickly.Have fun messy job:-)

No. It may have got a little warm but that would be the extent. 15 minutes of continuous chiseling might be a little too much for this tool. If you have that much to chisel I would recommend a commercial or industrial type of rotary/hammer drill. It may cost a little more but you will find that it will hold up better. This tool is perfect for light to medium work and not for continuous work.

Depends on your definition of hard use. AUS-8 is a decent grade steel with enough softness that it won't snap, but I wouldn't go using this as a chisel or pry-bar either.The lock mechanism is reasonably strong, but won't be as strong as Cold Steel's Triad lock they normally use. I got bored with mine and sliced up a bunch of aluminum cans, and it worked pretty well surprisingly!If you're talking cutting chores, sure you can slice and dice for a while before you have to re sharpen it, it'll get scratched up from use anyways over enough time. :)I'd stay away from twisting or prying with the blade or handle, those kinds of motions will likely make the lock give or the blade edge to roll (bend) or snap.

pretty sure, I have used it from splitting wood to skinning, and it keeps on ticking! No better knife investment for a "beater" knife.

Yes. If it is steel it can be sharpened. Your flat edged chisels will see the best results. If you are putting on the edge from bad damage or some such, then use the corse stone and work your way to the medium grit and then fine grit. If you are just honing the edge start with the medium grit. Your rounded tip chisel will require a little more attention to detail but should still give you a good edge. HIH.

Yes I belive so but it will take time and lots of work, it has no edge at all. You could easily mess it up if you don't know what your doing. You would have to start with a file not a sharpening stone.

In my opinion. Yes, if you are good with a sharp blade. You may want to put some type of cover on it after that to cover the jagged edges.

That's really up to you Frank. It offers longer lasting sharpness and the finish won't wear off. A stone will take care of the edge of either steel.

It is a high carbon blade, so it will require some maintainence but nothing too extreme. Just keep it dry when not in use.

While the bits are not large-scale industrial, they will not wear down quickly. I had to sharpen the chisel-bit once. I took out part of a sidewalk and a small patio-type area with no trouble. Unless extreme misuse is a problem, replacing the bits should not be a concern.

No i havent, i use mine 12 hrs a day, be sure to only use a wetstone to sharpen, and only use ceramic not a metal steele, never cut through bone, it should be fine

Based on my experience it's all about the quality of the cutting blade and properly clamping the material so it does not vibrate with the cutting blade. If you can take care of those two variables I think this tool can handle it. One last thought...if it's hardened steel it could really dull a blade fast so I'd definitely think that aspect through too.

In my mind, after the research I've done, Wusthof manufactures the best quality cutlery and related items, so while I'd like to say that, yes, this steel is up to any task or steel hardness, I'm not an expert, and the question could be better answered by someone more qualified to do so. Sorry.

If you could upload an image of your chisel I think I could give you an answer. I sharpen planner blades and regular chisels on it. The wheel cuts very slowly.

Absolutely! You must be take care to be sure it is not in the cutting path. Not too hard to do.
