I'll second what Kyplowboy says. If you've never worked with HT wire before, practice twisting it and snapping before you start. It takes practice to get good clean twists and close break off's. Use a pair of vise grips to clamp the free end of the wire to the reel at all times to stop it unspooling. When you're running it out, keep some tension on the reel to stop it free wheeling and spinning off more wire than you need.....it's a PITA to get back on the reel, and if you tension it with a kink it will break.
I use a reel holder in the truck hitch receiver, and put some brake resistance on the reel with washers under the nut on the spindle. A wire 'dog' (grip) and a come along is useful for tensioning the wire as you twist off at the end of each run. I put tensioners on about every second corner. I always start my wire on the fixed corner, and pull it to the corner that i have the tensioners on. Chris
