Claim 0:
1. A terminal-equipped electric wire comprising:
an electric wire including a core wire and a sheath, the core wire including a plurality of strands, the sheath covering the core wire while exposing a core-wire uncovered portion of the core wire;
a terminal fitting attached to the electric wire; and
a water seal member that is made from a curable resin material and covers an exposed part of the electric wire in the terminal fitting from an outside together with the terminal fitting to suppress entry of liquid into a connection portion between the electric wire and the terminal fitting, wherein
the terminal fitting includes:
a base wall on which the electric wire is placed;
a pair of core-wire crimping sections that is raised from the base wall and crimped onto the core-wire uncovered portion together with the base wall; and
a pair of sheath crimping sections that is raised from the base wall and crimped onto a sheath end portion of the sheath in a side on the core-wire uncovered portion together with the base wall with a distal end of the sheath end portion in the side on the core-wire uncovered portion projecting from a distal end portion of the sheath crimping sections, and

the base wall includes a recess extending continuously from an opposite arrangement area of the pair of sheath crimping sections offset from a rear end portion of the sheath crimping sections toward the distal end portion to an area beyond a distal tip surface of the distal end of the sheath end portion, the recess receiving a side on the base wall of the sheath end portion from a crimped portion offset from the rear end portion toward the distal end portion in the pair of sheath crimping section to the distal tip surface, the recess includes a surface in the opposite arrangement area that faces the sheath crimping sections, and the side of the sheath end portion abuts the surface.
