H&H Tool company (alternatively named H&H Tools Inc.) was a pre-War tools manufacturer.

Background

Long before the war, H&H Tools company provided Nevada and California with high-quality robotics equipment. The company was owned by the Anthony House, the half-brother of Robert Edwin House. When their father was killed in an accident, the elder Anthony House swindled Robert out of the family fortune, and assumed control of the company. Robert went on, through his dealings with RobCo and their lucrative contracts, to become one of the wealthiest men on earth. His half-brother, meanwhile, became increasingly paranoid, seeking to guard himself against a vengeance that never came, and inflicting all manner of strange HR rules on his workforce. The remains of this factory still stand, surrounded by husk-like remains of North Vegas’ industrial area.[1]

Under Anthony's rule, the company initially prospered and employees enjoyed great benefits. As the years went on, he found himself missing his father's presence and advice more and more, but told himself he would not be weighed down by the past, convincing himself that it wasn't really family, as the House family was broken.

After a year, he became paranoid towards Henderson, believing that Henderson and his brother were conspiring to seize the company, and had Cindy-Lou keep an eye on him. As a result of his growing paranoia, he began introducing absolutely insane security measures.

This was worsened when Robert's RobCo Industries began a hostile takeover of the company, first attacking them on the stock market. This resulted in Anthony's mental breakdown and on the eve of the Great War, he sealed the Vegas factory, which became a deathtrap for years to come.
