Anyone know of any decent tool stores in CT. I am in the northeast corner. I moved here from RI and still frequent Quaker lane tool, but would love to find a closer supplier for those times when I need it now. Any input is welcome.

I don't know CT at all, but Western Tool Supply has a couple of stores out there (Newington and Old Saybrook, according to the catalog).
They are geared woodworking and construction, but primarily tools, not so much of the nails and screws and all that stuff. Some, but not a lot.
What they don't have, they can generally order.
Coastal Tool is one of my favorite suppliers and it is right there in your neighborhood more or less.
