I recall those working once on Enterprise, but I can't remember the context... maybe I'm misremembering and it never worked?

They had grappling hooks on Enterprise. The Vulcans had a tractor beam though.

Yeah, my comment was about the grappling hooks. They weren't very reliable either.

I'm sure the tractor bean on TNG worked way more often. And I don't remember what they had on TOS.

Once they grappled onto a ship's nacelles and disabled them using brute force.

Physical attacks can work pretty good sometimes.
