Trimmer Head with Residual Trimmer Line Indicator

A trimmer head for mounting on a drive shaft of a trimmer has a housing and a trimmer line spool for winding and unwinding a trimmer line. The trimmer line spool is rotatably supported in the housing about an axis of rotation. The trimmer line spool has a first rotational direction in relation to the housing and a second rotational direction in relation to the housing, wherein the second rotational direction is opposite to the first rotational direction. A counting device detects a residual trimmer line length of the trimmer line remaining on the trimmer line spool. The counting device is connected to the trimmer line spool such that the counting device counts up when the trimmer line spool rotates in relation to the housing in the first rotational direction and counts down when the trimmer line spool rotates in relation to the housing in the second rotational direction.
