Hydrometer Not Long Enough

[ste]

Put a beer down last weekend - cant remember what - but couldnt get a true SG reading as the hydrometer was floating that high it was off the scale at the bottom (which is off the top of my head 1040 ish)......are there different kinds of hydrometer that are longer?
Cheers

I had one that only went to 1040 (came with the kit) but spent $25 on a new hydrometer from the local HBS with a testing tube...
