How do you fix the handle not staying up?

You don't. Mine won't stay up and somehow it got bent when crushing cans, so it's going to be tossed out.

I know it says 16oz, but I mostly drink Bai water, which is 18oz. Anyone know if this will crush those?

Our McKay Can Crusher is best for 16oz and would not recommend it using 18oz. You might need to crumple it a bit so you can use it on 16oz.

Will this crush metal soup cans?

Possibly. I've never tried it though. I do know that it would require a great deal of strength and the can crusher would have to be mounted to something extremely solid in order to do so. If only mounted to the wall as mine is, I could see it tearing loose if used to crush something made of heavier metal, such as soup cans. Again, this is only conjecture on my part, but based on sound principles of physics.

Good product, easy to install, easy to use

If you can use a drill and a screwdriver, you can install this can crusher. Once installed, crushing the cans a breeze. It's well made, and it works. What else do you need to know? Quick hint: slightly dent your cans before crushing them. It makes crushing them much easier.
