H&H Tools Company

H&H Tools Company, also known as H&H Tools, Inc. and H&H Tool Company, was a pre-War tools manufacturer.
==Background==
The H&H Tools Company was inherited by Anthony House and his half-brother Robert following the death of their father. Anthony used his lawyers to cut Robert out of his part of the inheritance and assume sole control of the company. Under his leadership, the company initially prospered and its employees enjoyed great benefits.H&H Tools factory terminal entries; terminal, E-Mail from Jack Maynard 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.H&H Tools factory terminal entries; Journal Entry 05/14/2061Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collectors Edition p.305: "[2.06] H&H Tools factoryLong before the war, H&H Tools Company provided Nevada and California high-quality robotics equipment. Owned by the half-brother of Robert Edwin House (the founder of RobCo, and—were it not for the 200 year gap—the same man who lives in the Lucky 38 Casino). When their father was killed in an accident, the elder brother 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."(Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition Tour of the Mojave Wasteland)
Meanwhile, Robert House had been developing his own corporation, RobCo Industries, and grew to become one of the most wealthy and influential figures in the United States of America. Anthony, well aware of Robert's success, began to grow paranoid and unstable, fearing reprisal from his brother for stealing what was rightfully his. In 2062, Anthony's paranoia manifested itself in an irrational suspicion of an employee named Henderson, believing that Robert was conspiring with Henderson to take over H&H Tools. Anthony had his human resources manager Cindy-Lou Kreb keep an eye on him.H&H Tools factory terminal entries; suspicious terminal, Journal Entry 07/12/2062 As a result of his growing paranoia, he also began introducing extreme security measures and employee policies.H&H Tools factory terminal entries; terminal, HR E-mail 05/14/2020H&H Tools factory terminal entries; terminal, HR E-mail 07/25/2022H&H Tools factory terminal entries; terminal, HR E-mail 11/08/2023
This worsened when RobCo Industries began attempting a corporate takeover, attacking H&H Tools on the stock market.H&H Tools factory terminal entries; terminal, E-Mail from Alan Dalton This resulted in Anthony suffering a total mental breakdown, and several months before the Great War, he sealed the Vegas factory and activated its security systems, turning the factory into a deathtrap for centuries to come.H&H Tools factory terminal entries; Anthony House's terminal, Journal Entry 06/19/2077

Atomic Shop content is not specified to be canonical or non-canonical.Fallout 76: Is the Atomic Shop or Creation Club considered canon?: Emil Pagliarulo: "Atomic Shop is a lot...we found that Atomic Shop tends to not be canon so much, it's a lot looser. Just because it's, y'know, stuff that you purchase or use Atoms get into your game that is, like... there's a big fun factor there. There's a lot of stuff in Atomic Shop that we could take out because it's not strictly Fallout canon, and then players would be bummed. Because it's in a live multiplayer game, you... it's always a judgement call, it's tough. There's a lot of stuff that's... the canon rules are a lot lighter with the Atomic Shop stuff. Because we want people to have what they want and just have fun." Note: This video is an excerpt from a longer interview at Gamescom 2020.
