The socket includes an engaged portion engageable with the engaging portion and a guide portion guiding the engaging portion to the engaged portion. A thickness of a portion of the leg continuous with the engaging portion is smaller than a thickness of a base end of the leg. A thickness of a portion of the guide portion continuous with the engaging portion is larger than a thickness of a base end of the guide portion.
