Does it work with other brands' blades?

Yes. The universal accessory adaptor lets it take most oscillating tool accessories, not just DeWalt's.

Is the brushless motor worth it over the brushed version?

DeWalt claims up to 57% more runtime than a similar brushed tool, and owners report smoother, cooler running.

Can I use my existing DeWalt 20V batteries?

Yes. It runs on any DeWalt 20V MAX battery, and larger packs extend runtime.

Does it have a depth guide?

Yes. The DeWalt guide system sets depth or height for repeatable cuts.

Is it good for sanding?

It sands corners and tight spots well, but the compact battery limits long sessions; a larger pack helps.
