Now that's actually a decent idea.... I should get me, the nieghbor and caveman to all get the service and get a discount.

That's what I have. Great for pushing, but yes it will catch a crack easily.

although this week of course it snowed and the "shoevel broke. therefore I was left actually shoveling. I use a big push type shovel.

I have a big 2 stage blower like that at work. They work great on the gravel yards we have at work. They do a great job for the end of the driveway where the snow plow pushes in on you. However they don't clean the driveways perfectly... got to have rubber paddle jobber for that.
