The spool assembly for storing and handling a wire, especially a pintle, includes a spool that is annular in shape and devised to define a radially outwardly opened rim of U-shaped cross-section in which the wire can be wound. At least one of the side walls of this rim has an outer edge with teeth formed in it. The spool assembly also includes a spool-receiving member that is made of one single piece and has a spool-receiving area, a set of circumferentially spaced-apart hooks to catch the spool and freely retain it within the spool-receiving area, a handle integral to the spool- receiving area, and a brake integral to the spool-receiving area. The brake comprises a flexible arm portion having one tooth projecting towards the periphery of the spool so as to engage the teeth of the spool and thus prevent the spool from being rotated unless the handle is lifted up thanks to the flexibility of its arm portion. This assembly is preferably made of plastic material and is very simple in structure and very versatile in use.
