Many digital caliper cases have an elliptical recess at the bottom

empty. The only non=empty one has a small screwdriver in it, which
doesn't appear to be the right item.

What's it for?

Pan drop? A photo would help.

My guess is it's nothing more than a moulding recess to give more
structure whilst at the same time creating a handy storage place for....
a screwdriver or cloth etc if required.




Having seen that picture I'd agree. You *could* keep some pan drops in it
though. ;-)

Nah. That's where the calibrating tape measure goes
