In the operation tool3, an outer knob9serving as an operation portion is to be operated by an operator. A mounting cylindrical portion19serving as a mounting portion is formed such that it has a clearance S with respect to the outer knob9in the impact acting operation. And, a crashable connecting portion21connects together the operation portion and mounting portion and can be crashed due to an impact given to the operation portion to thereby allow the operation portion to move with respect to the mounting portion. The crashable connecting portion21extends radially from the mounting cylindrical portion19and is connected to the outer knob9and includes plural bridge portions formed radially.
