About Christensen Tools

Welcome to Christensen Tools
Christensen Tools was first started in 1965, That makes us 58 years old! A well-established Specialist Tool company in South Africa (as the name might suggest). The company was started by the late Mr. John Christensen.  In the mid-1960's, electronics was just starting to take shape in South Africa.  There was little known about electronics, let alone tool suppliers to manufacture, repair or install these electronics.  John Christensen visited overseas trade shows (much in the same way we do so now) and obtained agencies for some of the products still sold today. In those days, Christensen Tools (was at the time called JA Christensen investments) was run out of a garage in Emmarentia, and was ostensibly a one-man company. 53 years later, and with 3 generations of Christensen's being involved, the business has thrived into a national operation, with offices in Johannesburg, Durban & Cape Town. 

Steve Christensen has spear-headed the company to the heights we see today, with great patience and passion, and always led from the front. He is actively involved on a day to day running of the company. Times might have changed but the core business which started the business still is present today.

Specialist Electonic handtools, test equipment, toolkits and a myriad of other products directly relating to the production, maintenance and repair of electronic goods, from the old style CRT tv's to the highly spec'd cellphone towers. This family business still has Christensen's involved in the day to day running of the business, which has enabled us to keep the focus on our core business. In today's ever-changing and volatile electronics environment, where we have seen IT stock soar and crash in a heartbeat, Christensen Tools has remained the market leader.   Christensen Tools has kept both feet firmly placed on the ground. We have done this through servicing the fast-paced, changing needs of our valuable and extensive client base. It is in being flexible to these changes that we have met industry challenges favourably.
