Abstract: A portable apparatus for closing wire gates includes an inner U-shaped ring that is pivotally attached at each end of the inner U-shaped ring to a U-shaped handle at each of two open ends thereof. A first length of chain is attached near to one of the two open ends of the U-shaped handle. A second length of chain is attached near to the remaining end of the two open ends of the U-shaped handle. The second length of chain includes a hook that can be attached to any link of the first length of chain, and therefore provides a method to adjust the overall combined length of the first length of chain and the second length of chain as desired. The inner U-shaped ring bears against a first post that is to be drawn closer toward a second post thereby eliminating the need for any attachment of the closer to either the first post or to the second post.
