Abstract: A socket includes a tubular metallic body, a corrosion-resistant layer unit, a pattern unit, and a corrosion-resistant protection layer unit. The tubular metallic body has an outer peripheral surface, which includes a first peripheral portion and a second peripheral portion. The second peripheral portion has a non-patterned region and a patterned region. The non-patterned region exhibits a body color. The corrosion-resistant layer unit is provided on the first peripheral portion. The pattern unit is provided on the patterned region of the second peripheral portion. The corrosion-resistant protection layer unit is provided on at least the pattern unit. The pattern unit is imparted with an anti-corrosion property and a color property distinguishable from the body color exhibited by the non-patterned region.
