On my A/C, they are located in a place not easily accessed by non-Tech Crew
Crash axes are used not only for cutting metal, but prising trim panels, etc when (God help us) looking for the source of smoke in an emergency, or moving things that are too hot to the touch (fire).
They are also useful in a survival situation such as
