Weren't they tools used by sailors of old, for stowing cargo and lashing down goods or for rolling up the sails... So the captain would yell before an inpending storm "batten down the hatches by hook or by crook" meaning he didn't give an F... how just do it

Crooks were the curved or hooked sticks that shepherds used to catch the hind legs of sheep. Hook was a synonym for crook. It is likely that the two words were put together to mean 'by one means or another' for no better reason than the alliteration.
