Found a cracked bleed air duct clamp on a 737 yesterday

It was on the forward pack, hidden behind some insulation. I found it during a routine inspection and wrote it up immediately. Anyone else run into these failing before their scheduled replacement interval?

Seems like everything fails early these days.

Why would they make stuff to last anymore?

Funny, I used to believe things were built better in the past. Then my five-year-old washing machine needed a $400 repair, same as my dad's that ran for twenty years. Planned obsolescence feels real now.
