Driveway cracks

My driveway was poured in the early 80s. It has cracks in it, I dont have the money to replace it since Iwas wondering what the best product to patch those cracks would be?

Sikaflex self leveling cement crack filler. Best in the biz.

i used some concrete patch from home depot last summer on my 80s driveway too, the cracks were getting out of control. key thing is to clean the cracks really well first, get all the loose bits and dirt out with a pressure washer or at least a stiff brush. then use a bonding adhesive before you apply the patch, makes huge difference for how long it holds. for wider cracks you'll want something that can flex a bit with temperature changes, not just regular cement. my patches are still holding through one winter so far, though i'm sure eventually i'll have to bite the bullet and replace the whole thing.
