Do you hammer them into the tyres to stop a nail getting in there and giving you a puncture?

I'm confused (it's easily done)
Other then preventing the installation of a strut brace, what purpose do these caps serve?

I had some on the MINI Cooper S Mr T, I think its to stop dust and dirt etc getting into the top of shock mounts and supposed to look pretty

Can I ask how much they were
and the item number
I agree that they do finish the top of the strut off very nicely, even if you do use them to put your tea on one side and biscuits on the other.
