Abstract
A treatment tool for an endoscope includes a sheath member, a treatment part, an operating part body, an operating wire, a slider, and a force limiting part. When a predetermined force is applied to the force limiting part with advance and refraction of the slider, the force limiting part engages a wall surface of the insertion passage of the operating wire and fixes the slider by being compressed in an advance-and-retraction direction and expanding in a radial direction.
