How to say how long an object will last?


I have a wallet that is made of a paper-like material, so I am unsure how long
it will last. One other thing I am unsure about, is how to say that sentence
in Japanese.

My first guess would be using 持つ.

> このお財布{さいふ}はどれくらい持{も}ちますか分{わ}からないです。

And if 持つ is the correct verb for the sentence, can it be used with other
objects, for example a poorly made hammer that might break or fall apart?




I'd use [持つ](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/219381/meaning/m0u/) as well!

I usually see it used with food (has obvious expiration date):

> 牛乳って、美味しいけどあまり持たないよね。  
>  Milk is good, but it doesn't last long.

But can be used with other stuff:

> あの服屋の服って、おしゃれだけどワンシーズンしか持たないよね。  
>  That clothing store is nice, but their stuff only lasts a season.
