What practical role does a potato masher with a small 7cm head width and a handle on top play when actually used?

Compared to typical potato mashers, its small size may raise doubts about whether it would be inconvenient when cooking. One might wonder why they deliberately made the head small and raised the handle in a unique way.

hmmm editorial answer

It is sized to go directly into canned tuna or canned corn, and gripping the handle firmly from above helps you easily apply force even in tight spaces.
