On real hardware I use Beast-Link/64k (Beastlink by Oneway) and Byte Boiler 256k V1.0 (Byte Boiler, only usable with a REU, but then, nearly everything was crunched within 2 minutes!!).
As cross-cruncher there's Exomizer the one you should use!

I am using my bugfixed version of Sledgehammer Sledgehammer V2.2

And Byteboiler/1way Hackpack IV
on the real machine.

I much prefer using only Exo now tho.

For leveling , levelab2 (also in hackpack 4), and good ole squeezer 2.2 :)

of coz, using exo here too these days.

If I HAVE to pack some memory below 0800 which normally is never the case, then I use unipacker 3.

Recently, I seem to be using ECA Compactor/Linker V4/S (Compactor/Linker V4/S) and some other old tools for C64 stuff. But most of the time, I stick to cross-platform based tools, like PuCrunch and Exomizer.

Byte-Buster 4.1 + Byte-Boiler usually yields the best results in my experience.
