They're meant to flex when a certain torque is reached, and when used in conjunction with an air wrench, they effectively prevent the gorillas in the garage from snapping off your lugs. Search for "torque socket", you can find singles for $20 or sets from $80. The last set of color-coded lugnut sockets I saw were these long barbell-shaped gizmos made of a flexible alloy.
