One of my favorite characters of all time would default to using her mace to open locks if the rogue wasn't around.
I've seen LPL open plenty of locks with a hammer before... so it's a valid tactic.
“Tension on hit one, nothing on hit two… seeing a bit of give on hit three, and now we’re in.”
Or our barbarians “I'll smash the whole door in” after the rogue couldn't open the lock “the proper way”
Who needs lock picks when you've got two perfectly good dwarven fists?
I'm an electrician (among other things), and one of the tools I carry is an 18" big screwdriver that I call my "F*ck You Screwdriver." I have a matching set of pliers (that are 2 feet long).
For the rest of us, 18 inch and 2 feet are 45 and 60 cm respectively
I used to be a repair tech for a company that makes postage meters and mail processing machines. Everything from a desktop stamping machine to big industrial sorters larger than some apartments I've lived in. I mainly worked on the big ones and the techs for the smaller machines liked to make fun of us for frequently defaulting to banging on stuff with hammers because we used the term "percussive maintenance" unironically. Also "four by four engineering," used to describe employing a long wood 4x4 as a lever for lowering and raising the hundred and fifty pound gearbox from it's inconveniently placed mounting on a certain model of inserter.
