Which would be perfectly plausible in a spontaneous bar fight with people who have little loyalty to each other. Which this wasn't.

It was, actually. Jeb was a meth dealer, who gathered some of his junky buddies to beat up Reacher. Not much loyalty there.

First the crew thought they were dealing with an old second baseman (Jimmie Reese) and on average they were physically larger than Reacher while all were younger. They likely felt the leader would thrash Jack easily and if not it would be no problem for the rest of them. They were also following orders which likely dictated no weapons. In addition the
the cops were in on it
thus wrenches and bats could complicate the matter. Jack also said he was "being gentle" after the fight suggesting that even if the clowns had some tools they would still have lost. Imagine an angry Reacher going beserk after grabbing an assailant's baseball bat.

They weren't looking for Jimmy Reese, they were looking for Jack Reacher.

he disarms their aggressiveness by talking about how he's gonna do it everybody is a little hesitant at that point. Often like that in packs a few that really DONT wanna fight or are only there to add a few cowardly kicks once someone is down.

The whole speech was because they wanted to translate the book to the screen and didn't know how to do it. Very dumb.

I don't understand why people frequently ask other viewers why the director or author does/doesn't do or not explain certain things, eg "What do you think Jack Reacher did when he got home?".
