At least one of an inner surface mid an outer surface of the hollow shaft, and at least one of an inner surface and outer surface of the tip portion are provided with a screw-like concave-convex streak of projection. The hollow shaft body has a diameter-reduced portion at the manipulative grip having a transparent portion, through which the diameter reduced portion is visible from outside.
