Pro tip: These are some of my Xmas tree lights rolled into what’s called a speed-ball. A Vietnam war veteran taught me this method. They used to roll the wiring for claymore mines like this to expedite a hasty ambush.
It’s hard to explain but you loosely wrap the entire wire around the end you want to come out first and just leave the end hanging out of the ball. It pulls out perfectly every single time with no hang ups or knots.
It’s a bit counterintuitive but it works without fail every time.
What I do is use a paper towel tube. Sticky tape one end of the lights to the tube, wrap lights around the tube making sure not to overlap. Get to the end and cut a slit in the tube and hook the end in.

This is genius.
