Actually the short fibers tie the long ones together so they share the strain. Pulling on the wrench wants to compress the long ones on one side and stretch the long ones on the other.

But the fact remains this is a high tech solution to a nonexistent problem. Plus they're way too much money. Sure a polished Snap-On set could cost that much, but personally I think that's ridiculous, when you can get a Craftsman set for probably $30. I don't like the Snap-Ons because they're too slippery. Oh, and combination wrenches are more useful.
