Distribute oddly superb tool (6)
I believe the answer is:
sprawl
'distribute' is the definition.
(sprawling is a kind of distributing)
'oddly superb tool' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'tool' becomes 'awl' (awl is a kind of tool).
The alternating letters of 'superb' are 'spr'.
'spr'+'awl'='SPRAWL'
(Other definitions for sprawl that I've seen before include "Spread out untidily" , "Lie untidily" , "Sit with one's limbs spread out" , "Lie inelegantly" , "10 with one's limbs extended" .)
