The socket 50 comprises a socket body 51 elastically expandable and contractible by being divided by a slit 51, and a socket engagement catch 51engages the block engagement catch 25. To detach the socket 50 from the fitting block 24, force is applied in a rotation direction to a push operation portion 51to cause the socket body 51 to undergo diametrical expansion, releasing the socket engagement catch 51from the block engagement catch 25.
