Video: Wirewinders from SOTABEAMS
I have spent years searching for the ideal way of winding up antenna wire for use in the field. These special winders are just about perfect! Lightweight and with an elastic fastener to secure the wire, they are quick and easy to use.
Wire winders ensure tangle-free aerials and rapid deployment - perfect! Great for SOTA, caravanning and DXpeditions!
Use a figure-of-eight winding technique which helps to ensure no kinks in the wire.
We recommend three winders for a dipole fed with RG174 (one for each half of the dipole and one for the co-ax and back guy). Two winders are usually adequate for a dipole fed with RG58 (cable coiled separately).
Each winder weighs 1.25 oz (36g). Length 24.5 cm (9.75 inches).

These wire winders are the best available. Much better than kite string winders.

You never have enough of these
Like some other reviewers here I am always making antennas so these winders are the best to use. They are that good even my young dog pinched one and chewed the ends off it.

Great for Antennas or Guy Ropes
These are so handy and just right for keeping portable wire antennas neat and tidy without getting tangled up. They can also be used for feeders and guy wires/ropes. Very light in weight for "mountain goats".

So Simple - So Good
Such a simple idea but so effective and easy to use when operating out in the field. Keeps the coax and antenna wire free from kinks and twists. Added bonus is being able to secure the plastic piece in a bush, tree, or rock crevice. A must for the portable equipment bag.

more winders
Bought a load of these before, seem to go missing when im out operating, or i keep on making more antennas than i need.Hihi. Great piece of kit. Used it to secure the wire into rock(crack in rocks on rocky beach), snow and sand where normal pegs wont hold

Much simpler than rolling up
Got the wire winders the other day, put a 41.5 foot long wire and a 18' counterpoise on the wire winder and was surprised that it all fit. When I unwound it. iot came off without any circles as it did when wound up upon itself. was able to attach the winder to a pole and also to a window on the side of the house very easily. I am about to order another set or two for some other antennas. I really like how they work.
