Wardrobe Rail

I want to replace a wardrobe rail but most of those that I can find in DIY shops are a bit too long. I don't have a hacksaw or vice to hold the rail and it would be pointless to buy them for that one thing. Is there anywhere that you can buy them cut to size or somewhere that I could get one cut for me?

    You don't need a vice and a hacksaw is a couple of quid. Pay a handyman to do it and it'll cost you £30.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
