My best guess is some sort of "pin" for holding some other components in place or in alignment. It has those fins along the side that are chamfered in both directions and that notch at the end...

I almost thought it was like a "key" for turning something but I don't think the handle is big enough and I don't think plastic would be strong enough

Maybe some sort of packaging?
