The cheapest solution is to just use more voltage on your existing starter. Going up to 15 v would probably solve your problem. At least I would try it. I use 24v on a starter rated for 12. I also have the miller attachment.

I have been using mine since 2001 and it hasn't done so yet.

The second time I used mine the contacts welded closed. I cleaned them, they lasted about 5 times after that. For $225 I would think they could do better.

My guess is that it won't slip, in my case the motor was bad in my old torq master, I have a new sullivan however it wouldn't turn it over, I just took my grinder cut the shaft of the old starter and put it in the chuck,
I have tried to start a ST 90 with the drill, it couldn't turn it fast enough, another thing to remeber when you try you need to but the drill in reverse to get it to spin the correct direction
Good luck

I don't know where you bought yours. Mine cost $24.95.
