Provided is an apparatus designed to engage tire chains on motorized vehicles when hazardous road conditions are present, including snow or ice. Moreover, the chains are designed to be deployed manually from inoperative to operative positioning by raising and lowering the apparatus handle. A rotating quick deploy chain wheel at the bottom of the apparatus throws a plurality of chains between the tire and road surface generating vehicle traction. This utility patent for tire chains will provide a cost effective, simple method for putting on and taking off snow tire chains. Existing automatic chain systems characteristically require electronics, motors or a pneumatic system. The embodiment of this apparatus is the simplicity of locking a handle and the chains are engaged. Releasing the handle and the chains are disengaged.
