The authors show how the derived functors in the sense of \textit{A. Dold} and \textit{D. Puppe}, [Ann. Inst. Fourier 11, 201-312 (1961; Zbl 0098.36005)], of certain standard non-additive functors on \(\mathbf{Ab}\), like tensor power, symmetric power, exterior power, are realized as limits of suitable functors over extension categories. They also discuss higher limits over categories of extensions and prove that if \(G\) is a group then for the functor \(\mathfrak F\colon\text{Fext}_{Gr}(G)\to\mathbf{Ab}\), \((R\to F\to G)\mapsto R/[F,R]\), \(\varprojlim^1\mathfrak F\) is non-trivial if \(G\) is not a perfect group.
