Abstract: The invention relates to a simple, economical, and lightweight device for holding, carrying, and unreeling spools of wire when stringing barbed wire fences. The device includes a pair of leg members bent at a lower end thereof to form feet members for supporting the device on a surface, a swivel arm for holding the spool of wire for rotation thereon during unreeling, and an arm member for carrying or transporting the spool of wire. The spool of wire on the device can be held away from the body of the user while avoiding the dangers encountered with the installation and use of barbed wire.

Abstract: Broadly my invention relates to a simple, economical, and lightweight device for holding, carrying, and unreeling spools of wire when stringing barbed wire fences. The present invention generally relates to a fencing tool and more particularly to a device for holding, carrying, and unreeling spools of barbed wire. The device generally comprises a means of engaging a spool of wire, a means for grasping or holding the spool of wire, a means for carrying or transporting the spool of wire, and a means for unreeling the spool of wire. The means for engaging the spool allows the spool of wire to freely rotate to permit the unreeling of the spool of wire by one person. The means for engaging is connected to the means for grasping such that a spool of wire engaged therewith can be held away from the body of the user, while avoiding the dangers encountered with the installation and use of barbed wire.
