I have a Foley Food Mill, but it doesn't strain out tomato seeds well, doesn't get tomatoes near as dry as the KA does, and it would just wear me out to do large amounts of applesauce through it.
The one I have has a vice type attachment that I attach to one of my pull out cutting boards. It's by 'Back to Basics' and I think that I got it here:

I've got multiple screens (berry, apple/tomato, pumpkin & salsa) that you switch out depending on what you are milling. All the parts that take the brunt of the force of cranking are metal, so it seems like it should last well. I've used it with apples (massive quantities!), pears, tomatoes, blackberries, plums, and grapes. I've had it two seasons now and it still works like new. In fact, my H is going to use it to make salsa this weekend for the first time.

There is a picture of it in action in this post:
