The U-shaped elastic body includes: (1) two longitudinally extending arms connected by an arcuate bottom portion; (2) a protruded portion formed on one of the longitudinally extending arms of the U-shaped elastic body for exerting an urging force against a nut received by the driven member of the socket.
