A portable wire dispenser comprising: a housing having first and second side walls which are retained in spaced relation; at least one support member connecting the first and second side walls for supporting at least one removable spool of wire having at least one end plate, for facilitating rotation of the wire spool for dispensing wire, and for providing sufficient frictional resistance against the wire spool to prevent free spinning when wire is dispensed therefrom; and a rotatable member placed between and connecting the first and second side walls for providing a force on said at least one end plate of the spool to retain frictional contact between the spool end plate and the support member while the spool is rotating to control the dispensing of the wire.
