Abstract: A device for use in assisting a person in unwinding or re-winding coil wire includes a base adapted to rest on a horizontal surface and a coil holder rotatably mounted on the base and sized to accommodate the coil wire. The coil holder has a disc having a top surface and a bottom surface. A wire guide projects upward from the top surface of the coil holder and an axle having a circular flange projects downward from a boss on the bottom surface. The base includes a mounting hole into which the axle of the disc is inserted until the boss rests upon the base. The base also includes a barrier which is generally cylindrically shape and which is situated so as to prevent the wire from becoming caught between the disc and the base as it is being unwound or rewound. To unwind coil wire, a user places the coil on the top surface of the coil holder in such a way as to encircle the wire guide.
