1. A system for monitoring and controlling a clamping tool comprising: a programmed microprocessor communicating with the clamping tool; wherein the clamping tool has an air pressure gauge for measuring air pressure; wherein the programmed microprocessor is configured to identify and store a target air pressure to count a first completed cycle when the measured air pressure is equal to the target air pressure; wherein the clamping tool has a body defining a cavity wherein the body has a pressure access port to the cavity and a laser emitter access port to the cavity; wherein the laser emitter access port houses the laser emitter; wherein the laser emitter is a means for measuring a variable distance of measurement; and wherein the programmed microprocessor is configured to identify and store a target distance of measurement to count a second completed cycle when the measured distance is equal to the target distance of measurement.
