Before you do anything with the starter any farther. Check the ring gear on the flywheel. I have see them come loose and spin on the flywheel. Stick a heavy screwdriver in the starter hole and one or two teeth at a time turn the gear and see if it slips on the flywheel.. Then try it in the other direction.
A starter that spins and doesn't engage makes a completely different noise than one with bad teeth or a slipping ring gear.
You didn't say what voltage battery you tested your starter with. If it's a 12 volt starter and you use a 6 volt battery it's not going to rip it out of your hands. If you use cheap battery jumper cables it won't rip it out of your hand. Jumper cables never make as good as a connection as the battery cable on the vehicle. Just my 2 cents from experience.
You should be able to take your starter to your local parts store and they can test it for you.
