Need a sturdy food mill recommendation

I must've discarded my food mill that I had for years; probably because it
was rusty looking, as was my potato ricer.

But the food mill has me stumped. There are loads of them on amazon.com and
fantes.com to chose from.

The last food mill I had was sorta heavy, but really solid. It had lots of
holes, and no separate blades with different sized holes. I'm not too fond
of the separate blades, as in the ricers.

The last two (food mill and ricer) seemed to have loads of holes in them.
I've seen nothing as nice. I'm only interested in stainless steel.

Has anyone bought one recently.
Thanks so much.

Needed it sorely yesterday. Had to use a chinois with wooded stump. I
think it's gotta go, too.

I looked at this one before, and the pic is so small that I couldn't decide
if it was the one I had before, but the name, "Foley," is very familiar.
Also it does say 'Heavy tin-plated steel ." This is what mine was, I'm
sure, but the tin didn't last.

What makes you say it's stainless, that's exactly what I want.
Do you see this one in stainless somewhere else?
Thanks so much.
