Abstract:

A portable wire dispenser which provides a housing/shell with an interior cavity shaped to receive a roll of wire. On a surface of the housing/shell is a circular opening which communicates with the interior cavity. An end of the spool of wire, from the interior circumference of the spool, extends through said circular opening so that a user is able to easily draw a length of wire therethrough for use. In one embodiment, a belt loop on the housing/shell allows the user to easily carry the dispenser; in another embodiment, the housing/shell is equipped with a hand-tool receptacle to hold a wire cutter or a screwdriver for easy access by the user.
