Default Sissors Lift?

Anyone have a sissors lift that they like? I need to get my 66 up in the air so I can finish buffing the sides - getting too old to be kneeling. I would like to get it higher then the Kwiklift. I was using one at a friend of mines body shop - but he recently sold the shop and equipment and can't remember the name. It lifted about 42". All input appreciated.

I have a sissor lift I use in my garage, it was sold by Snap-on. It raises the car enough so I can work on the brakes standing up.
It is a very strong lift. I even put my 4100 lb. 1930 ******-Knight sedan on it and it raised it without any groaning.
I have a friend who is selling the same one. He is selling his business and no longer needs it.
Contact me if you are interested.
