Not earth shaking news, but I successfully swedged the slack out of the tube hinges for the lower register E and F# keys, using a wire crimper tool. Now, it would not be the tool of choice if looking for such a tool. But if the clarinet is a lowly Bundy, and you happen to have a electrical wire crimper, it might do the trick. My keys seem much improved. Here is a picture of a heavy duty example of what I used:

FWIW, with a few exceptions, the low E and F# keys don't have hinge tubes, they have hinge rods, with short holes at the ends for pivot screws.
