As useless as a buried shovel

A situation, tool, or solution that is completely non-functional because the exact thing required to activate or access it is locked inside or dependent upon the object itself. A frustrating, self-defeating "catch-22."

Buying plastic-cutting scissors that are sealed inside thick, hard plastic packaging is as useless as a buried shovel.
